Why does this matter for Ladson real estate?

Ladson real estate is affected by the same national shift every Lowcountry town now sees: a buyer must sign a written pay agreement with their agent before that agent shows a single home, tracing back to a 2026-era industry settlement over how buyer's agents get paid. It says nothing about how Ladson homes are priced or how quickly they sell. Brian Beatty puts that agreement in place with Ladson buyers at the first meeting, not partway through a search.
