I've met with 3 sellers since the settlement and when I explained it to them (they hadn't heard of it), they told me to offer 2.9% to buyers agents so they'd be more competitive than other listings. 

How should I approach the sale of my house with the NAR settlement?  

Lots of big changes and challenges to be navigated but I'll keep this short and sweet to focus on the real world effects of the NAR Commission Lawsuit Settlement for investors scheduled to begin in July 2024.- Buyers will have more (and less) options.

Before the settlement and after this settlement, buyers always had the option to approach the listing agent directly with an offer, a power they've held all along.

I plan on submitting claim forms for properties I've sold that fall within the "Settlement Class" as defined by the US District Courts as part of the class action suits against NAR.

Escrow or settlement can also vary a little bit but it's all the and a' fees that vary: CPL, deeds, HOA docs, any special lender requests, troubled payoffs, insurance documents...A $200000 purchase with $175000 loan here is general estimate :  Buyer $714  Seller $1073 Going smaller sale price won't reduce the costs much as some fees are minimum floors.

Prepare some money upfront because that would be required prior to final settlement.

I have thought about getting my Real Estate Agent License, and am wondering if the NAR Settlement makes it more or less attractive.

Basically, the way agents earn their commissions is changing due to a settlement that's aiming to make things more transparent and fair.

Foreclosures Auctions are a great way to buy and create cash flow and equity, but as you know you need the cash to buy and pay settlement cost.Be prepared when considering purchases at the court house steps, do your home work first:Years ago I would go to the court house (before computers and the internet came into my life) to look at the foreclosures filings.
