NEW CHANGES BY NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS (3/15/2024)

There are some important changes in our industry regulations mandated by the National Association of Realtors (NAR). These changes are designed to ensure transparency and fairness in real estate transactions, ultimately benefiting both buyers and sellers.

We are now REQUIRED (in the near future) to have buyers sign a buyer agreement before proceeding with any transactions (before showing a home to be exact). This agreement outlines the terms and conditions of our professional relationship and helps clarify expectations from both parties throughout the buying process. However, some agents have been practicing this already and we will continue to make efforts to communicate effectively with our buyers in the market to buy a home.

Additionally, it’s essential to address the negotiation of fees and commissions with buyers. In the event that seller’s agents’ fees aren’t covered by sellers, we may need to discuss the possibility of buyers covering these expenses.

These changes are in line with NAR’s commitment to upholding ethical standards and promoting professionalism within the real estate industry. While they may introduce some adjustments, please rest assured that our priority remains providing you with the highest level of service and expertise.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding these new regulations or any other real estate matters, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated as we navigate these changes together. I will continue to update my clients and future clients as changes occur within the market as well as with the National Association of Realtors.
