The NAR settlement, stemming from lawsuits alleging antitrust violations, primarily changes how real estate agents are compensated, requiring buyers to sign representation agreements before touring homes and shifting the burden of covering buyer agent fees from sellers to buyers, while also prohibiting automatic offers of compensation on the MLS.  

• The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) entered into the settlement to address ongoing legal disputes and avoid the lengthy, uncertain process of litigation. 
• The lawsuits centered on alleged antitrust violations related to how commissions were handled within the real estate industry. 

The settlement changes the structure or content of listing agreements, particularly regarding commission sharing and the unilateral offer of compensation to a buyer's broker.  The amount or rate of real estate commissions is not fixed by law. They are set by each broker individually and may be negotiable between Seller and Broker.  

The Seller should negotiate the fee for listing services with their listing agent and this fee will be reflected in the listing agreement,  A seller is not obligated to offer compensation to a buyer's broker and these offers of compensation can no longer be advertised on the MLS.  

Sellers will no longer be able to instruct their agent to offer blanket, unconditional, or unilateral offers of compensation to buyer's agents.  Sellers will be able to direct listing agents to market buyer concessions and will be able to negotiate, on a case-by-case basis, potential buyer's agent compensation.  This open negotiation aims to ensure transparency and fairness, allowing for compensation that reflects the value and complexity of the services provided.  

The settlement does not change the core ethical standards and professional duties of agents.  However, it adds responsibilities, especially regarding transparency and fairness in real estate transactions. 

 Key Changes:

• Buyer Representation Agreements: Before touring a property, buyers will need to sign a written agreement with their agent, outlining the terms of representation and compensation. 
• No More Automatic MLS Compensation Offers: Sellers will no longer be able to automatically offer compensation to buyer's agents through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). 
• Negotiable Compensation: Real estate commissions are fully negotiable and not set by law, and buyers can now negotiate how they will compensate their agents. 
• Sellers Still Can Offer Compensation: Sellers can still offer compensation to buyer's agents, but it must be negotiated outside of the MLS and factored into the overall offer or asking price. 
• Focus on Transparency: The settlement emphasizes transparency and clear communication between agents and their clients regarding compensation. 
• No Change to Agent's Duty to Clients: REALTORS® are ethically obligated to work in their clients' best interest and must abide by the REALTOR® Code of Ethics.
