@MariaTeo with the new changes coming in Aug from the NAR lawsuits you should ask your managing broker how your state is outlining this.

The NAR settlement will wash out a lot of "agents" who have to do 3 other jobs on the side to survive. 

Things that make your life easier = 1) Adobe Scan and DC ($17 per mo), 2) Docusign or another e-signature platform ($260 NAR rate +/-).

I was shocked by the rate I saw on the NAR site because I was expecting 7.5+.

Is this an NAR rule that applies to SFs?

Statement fro the National Association of Realtors: “NAR launched an all-hands advocacy effort on this issue, meeting with VA officials, engaging with lawmakers and rallying our industry partners to ensure this prohibition was lifted,” Shannon McGahn, the chief advocacy officer at NAR, said in a statement.

Given FL dual agency laws and the recent NAR, what would this mean as far as commissions?

Consequently, there are fewer commissions available for real estate agents.Secondly, there's the looming lawsuit against the National Association of Realtors (NAR), which threatens to squeeze the commissions that end up in the hands of buyer's agents.

It’s NAR based, right?

If the NAR was worth anything they would have a campaign education the benefits of the buyer agent.
