How This Law Change Impacts Maryland Real Estate Agents 

 According to the Senate Bill 425: 

Authorizing a licensed title insurance producer to pay compensation for the provision of real estate brokerage services to associate real estate brokers, real estate salespersons, or certain business entities on behalf of a real estate broker in accordance with written disbursement authorization provided by the real estate broker. 

This new law change provides an understanding that title companies can pay compensation to real estate licensees on behalf of the real estate broker, along with a written disbursement authorization provided by the real estate broker. This allows the continuation of the “pay at the table” option that is provided by some real estate and title companies, including Express Title.
