Is there a Principal-Agency Problem with Real Estate Agents in Rental Markets?
2024
Overview
This paper examines the principle-agency problem between landlords and real estate agents using novel data on rental contracts. Real estate agents are found to obtain higher contract rents by approximately 1% more for themselves (and family members) than for other landlords, which is economically small. The results suggest that the principle-agency program with real estate agents is less of a concern in the rental market than the ownership market. The reason potentially relates to the commission structure, the relatively low effort associated with finding a tenant, the landlord’s ability to evaluate an agent’s performance, and reputation concerns from repeated interactions.
