| Facts About the NAR Settlement |
| We would like to inform you about the upcoming changes in the real estate industry that will take effect on August 17th, 2024, as a result of the NAR settlement. These changes will have a significant impact on the way real estate transactions are conducted, particularly in regards to the representation of buyers and the payment of buyer's agents commission. Starting August 17th, broker's agents commissions will no longer be published in the MLS. Additionally, buyers will not be allowed to view homes with their realtor without a signed Buyer Representation Agreement. One of the key questions that arises from these changes is how buyer's agents will be paid for their work going forward. The payment of the buyer's agent's commission is now a negotiable term when writing an offer on a property. In the past, the seller has typically paid this fee. However, after August 17th, we may see the following scenarios: Buyers can pay their agent directly at the close of escrow, and it would be assumed that buyers may make an offer on a property that reflects this payment. The buyer can ask the seller to cover all or a portion of this fee, which may also change the offered price on a property
These are major changes that will be going into effect on a national level. As your trusted real estate advisor, I am committed to providing one-on-one counseling with all of my buyers and sellers so they can be fully informed on how these changes will affect them as they move forward in the buying and selling process. In addition, educating buyers on how they can best negotiate this contract with their agent is a top priority for me. Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like to set up a time to meet and review the buyer's representation agreement together. Your understanding and preparedness in navigating these changes are of utmost importance to me. Now, more the ever, is the time you need an experienced real estate agent to assist you through this complicated process.
