Congratulations to our friend and client Denise McManus on her article with Unique Homes called “What’s Changing on August 17th for Real Estate Agents?” Starting August 17th, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) settlement changes will require buyers to sign a Buyer Broker Agreement, disclosing their broker’s commission. This shift aims to increase transparency and protect both consumers and brokers. Buyers may need to pay their agent’s commission directly if the seller does not cover it. Brokers are preparing for this change with increased communication and training. She advises both buyers and brokers to stay informed and adapt to the new regulations. To learn more about these changes, you can read about it in her article right here: What’s Changing on August 17th for Real Estate Agents?
