You will not need to join CAR/NAR and I offer super high fee splits. 

Quote from @Lorraine Hadden: As we close out 2024 and look forward to 2025, NAR released its 2025 list of top performers in 10 metro markets.

Now with the NAR settlement, all buyer commissions are negotiable in the contract. 

However, there isn't a standard form like a NAR lease agreement; it just needs to provide some general information.

Here you would have to put it in the MLS if your are with NAR, but it wouldn't syndicate out to all of the public sights, and you can send it to any potential buyer that you may know.

However, expect greater transparency and heightened consumer awareness that has come out of media attention and NAR settlement to impact the listing component of seller agency as well.

The NAR settlement was ridiculous and has only forced agents to do more paperwork and disclosures, but the vast majority of us are still working the same way.The law requires the agent to sign an agreement with you.
