Updated FAQ on Written Buyer Agreements
The National Association of REALTORS® has updated its FAQ regarding the proposed settlement to include additional information and clarity about written buyer agreements.
As a part of the proposed settlement, NAR agreed to require MLS participants working with buyers to enter into written agreements with their buyers before touring a home.
The information in the below link has also been added to NAR's resource hub on www.facts.realtor - and is listed as questions 46 through 62 on NAR's regularly updated FAQ page.
As a reminder, NAR received preliminary approval of the settlement on April 24, but it is still subject to final court approval. The final approval hearing is scheduled for November 26.
