The New NAR settlement changes!!
8. How do the practice changes impact homebuyers?
-
The settlement empowers consumers with additional choice and transparency when buying a home.
-
As part of the new practice changes, you will need to sign a written agreement with your agent before touring a home.
-
Before signing this agreement, you should ensure it reflects the terms you have negotiated with your agent and that you understand exactly what services and value will be provided, and for how much.
-
The buyer agreement must include four components concerning compensation:
-
A specific and conspicuous disclosure of the amount or rate of compensation the agent will receive or how this amount will be determined.
-
Compensation that is objective (e.g., $0, X flat fee, X percent, X hourly rate)—and not open-ended (e.g., cannot be “buyer broker compensation shall be whatever the amount the seller is offering to the buyer”).
-
A term that prohibits the agent from receiving compensation for brokerage services from any source that exceeds the amount or rate agreed to in the agreement with the buyer; and,
-
A conspicuous statement that agent fees and commissions are fully negotiable and not set by law.
-
-
Written agreements apply to both in-person and live virtual home tours.
-
You do not need a written agreement if you are just speaking to an agent at an open house or asking them about their services.
-
The seller may agree to offer compensation to your agent. This practice is permitted but the offer cannot be shared on an MLS.
-
You can still accept concessions from the seller, such as offers to pay your closing costs.
-
Compensation for your agent remains fully negotiable and is not set by law, and if your agent is a REALTOR®, they must abide by the REALTOR® Code of Ethics and have clear and transparent discussions with you about compensation.
-
When finding an agent to work with, ask questions about compensation and understand what services you are receiving.
-
Agents who are REALTORS® are here to help you navigate the homebuying process and are ethically obligated to work in your best interest. (Added 9/5/24)
