NAR Settlement Practice Changes Resources

NAR Consumer Guide to Written Buyer Agreements


NAR has created a one-page, consumer-friendly guide on written buyer agreements: what they are, why consumers will be asked to sign them, and how they help create clarity and transparency at the start of a relationship between a buyer and their real estate professional. The resource is designed to be given directly to consumers during these discussions, and is part of NAR’s ongoing campaign to help members promote clarity and transparency with the consumers they serve.

 

Click here to download the guide. It will soon be available for download on facts.realtor.
