As a leading real estate agent in North Atlanta, I'm here to help you navigate the recent National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) settlement and how it affects your home buying or selling journey in 2024.
Key Changes from the NAR Settlement:
For Home Buyers:
Written agreements are now required before touring homes or receiving buyer representation services in Georgia
You'll need to sign either a Buyer Brokerage Engagement Agreement or Agreement to Work with Buyer as a Customer
No written agreement needed for casual conversations - you can still speak with agents about properties or ask general questions about their services
For Home Sellers:
These new requirements apply to both in-person and virtual home tours
Agent compensation is now fully negotiable between you and your chosen real estate professional
