What is the NAR (National Association of REALTORS®) settlement? How does it affect me?
The NAR settlement introduces significant changes aimed at increasing transparency and fairness in real estate transactions. Here's what it means:
- More Transparency: To make real estate transactions more open and understandable for buyers and sellers, all costs must be disclosed prior to entering into an agreement with a real estate agent.
-
Upfront Commission Agreement: Real estate agents must sign a Buyer-Broker Compensation Agreement with their clients before showing any properties. This agreement clearly states the commission the buyer agrees to pay their agent. The buyer is not on-the-hook for any commissions not covered by seller's contribution.
- If the seller's contribution exceeds the agreed commission, the buyer keeps the difference.
- If it falls short, the buyer pays the remaining balance.
- Commissions are no longer known: Buyer agent commissions are no longer pre-listed on the MLS. Buyers must inquire directly with sellers to learn about any contributions towards the buyer's agent fee.
- Commission Negotiation Opportunities: The settlement encourages competition and transparency among agents. Platforms like Seeking Agents™ allow agents to showcase their services and fees directly to potential clients, fostering trust and helping agents differentiate themselves in a more open market.
This settlement emphasizes clarity and fairness, empowering both buyers and agents in their real estate journeys.
