The National Association of Realtors Settlement: What You Need to Know

Introduction

There's currently a lot of hype in the industry about a National Association of Realtors settlement of over $400 million that's being paid out after a lawsuit was made by a group of sellers in Missouri. Now, you're probably asking, what is this all about, and how is it going to affect me, and then how can I prepare if I'm planning a real estate transaction? So I want to answer all of those questions for you, and I'll start with, what is this settlement all about?

The Settlement and Its Implications

The main gist of the settlement is that a group of sellers got together and were upset over how their transactions were handled from a commission standpoint. They felt that they were forced into participating in the MLS and offering compensation to a buyer's agent. The underlying question was why should a seller pay the agent on the other side instead of just paying their own listing agent. This led to a reevaluation of how real estate commissions should be handled.

Although the National Association of Realtors stated that there was no wrongdoing, they decided to adopt new requirements to improve the circumstances. These changes will come into effect in July 2024, subject to potential adjustments. The multiple listing services will no longer display offers of compensation, making it optional for sellers to offer compensation to buyer's agents. In addition, buyers will sign a contractual agreement to work with a buyer's agent, bringing more transparency to the system.

How Does It Affect Me?

If you're planning to buy or sell a home in the near future, you might be wondering how this settlement will impact you.

For Sellers

As a seller, you need to consider what, if any, compensation you want to offer to a buyer's agent. There are factors to weigh and discuss with your real estate agent to make an informed decision. Understanding the pros and cons of making an offer will be crucial.

For Buyers

As a buyer, you should consider the cost of hiring the right agent to help you achieve your goals. Different agents may offer varying levels of service and charge different commission rates. It's important to interview multiple agents, understand the services they provide, and assess whether they align with your needs.

At RES Luxury Group, we have two buyers agents who are accredited by a representative specialist and certified real estate negotiators. We are experienced in navigating these changes and can negotiate on your behalf to ensure the seller covers most, if not all, of the commission for our services, reducing additional costs for you.

Conclusion

The National Association of Realtors settlement brings changes to the real estate industry, aiming to enhance transparency. It's important to adapt to these changes and understand how they may affect your buying or selling experience. RES Luxury Group is prepared to provide top-notch service in this changing environment, ensuring you receive white glove service and red carpet treatment. We welcome the opportunity to discuss these changes and their impact on you.
