1. What are the terms of the lawsuit settlement? Let's get the facts down. NAR's attorneys approved the settlement agreement a few days ago. It will get filed in court and will be subject to court approval in the next couple of weeks. According to the National Association of Realtors, this settlement ends ALL of the litigation claims brought by home SELLERS, over one million NAR members, all state or territorial and local Realtor associations, all association-owned MLSs and brokerages with a NAR member as a principal having transaction volume of $2 billion or lower in 2022.

2. Seriously, $418 million? The $418 doesn't get paid all at once. It will be paid over four years, and deposited into a trust account that the courts control.
3. What rules change for real estate agents and brokers as a result of this settlement agreement?
The settlement calls for NAR to be banned from creating or enforcing any rules that allow a listing agent to set the compensation for a buyer's agent. All fields that you're used to seeing list the broker compensation will be eliminated.
As a coaching organization, we have always, for years and years, over thousands of podcasts, and tens of thousands of coaching sessions, and our real estate career advocated for, coached, and taught agents and brokers to use a buyer-broker agreement.
In Premier and Elite Coaching, our coaching members have a turn-key, buyer presentation which results in a signed exclusive buyer representation agreement. Together with your state-promulgated legal forms, you have honest, ethical, and transparent agreements with the buyer clients you represent.
4. How do you comply with the new rules and still receive compensation for your hard work on the buyer side of the transaction? NAR states that buyer brokers have several ways of receiving compensation: a fixed-fee commission paid directly by the buyer, -home seller concessions, -or part of the listing broker's commission.
