Here is the fee structure:- Flat fee of $595 per transaction (deal over $1M has a higher fee)- 100% commission to agent- Free E&O insurance $1M for every transaction- Updated forms for buy & sale transactions (similar benefits as from the NAR membership)- Annual membership fee of $109X3=$327- No mandate on NAR membership ($550 per year in MA.  

It's even more important now to interview agents and contractors because of the new NAR rules.

The recent settlement involving the National Association of Realtors (NAR) is set to have a significant impact on the real estate industry, including for real estate investors.

I guess dust is not settled yet...I hear that everyone is saying it's case by case...and everything is negotiable!!!I'm wondering though...if you buy a new constructon, will builders still pay for a buyer's agent fee?

Now that August 17th has passed, and the new NAR Settlement is in effect, big changes for consumers on both sides of real estate transactions are being felt across the nation.

We charge $595 and I waive it for repeat and high price point clients.The new NAR settlement rules also mandate and allow agents since August 17th to negotiate their own buyer-side commission.

A bad realtor that is waiving inspections on a property like that is largely to blame for NAR lawsuits and other pending litigation. 

The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) just dropped some numbers, and guess what?

My son was not represented by a buyer's agent when he offered to buy a house, The listing agent told him to hire her, the listing agent, as his (buyer's) agent and agree to a 2.5% commission, so that the listing agent could then keep "both" commissions, just as she would have in the past before the new NAR rules.

Will this change with the new NAR MLS Rules settlement in August?
