HOME SELLERS:

Here's What the NAR Settlement Means for You

As a home seller, you have a wide range of choices when it comes to listing your home. Agents who are REALTORS® are a trusted source of advice and stand ready to help you navigate this complex process and make the choices that work best for you. NAR’s recent settlement has led to several changes related to broker commissions that benefit sellers, and we wanted to clearly lay them out for you.

Here is what the settlement means for home sellers:

You still have the choice of offering compensation to buyer brokers. You may consider doing this as a way of marketing your home or making your listing more attractive to buyers.

Your agent must conspicuously disclose to you and obtain your approval for any payment or offer of payment that a listing broker will make to another broker acting for buyers.

This disclosure must be made to you in writing in advance of any payment or agreement to pay another broker acting for buyers, and must specify the amount or rate of such payment.

If you choose to approve an offer of compensation, there are changes to how this can happen.

You as the seller can still make an offer compensation, but your agent cannot include it on a Multiple Listing Service (MLS)—MLSs are local marketplaces used by both buyer brokers and listing brokers to share information about properties for sale.

Your agent can advertise your listing via off-MLS platforms such as social media, flyers and websites.

You as the seller can still offer buyer concessions on an MLS (for example, concessions for buyer closing costs).

These settlement practice changes will go into effect August 17.

Here is what the settlement doesn’t change:

Agents who are REALTORS® are here to help you navigate the process of selling your home and are ethically obligated to work in your best interest.

Compensation for your agent remains fully negotiable, and if your agent is a REALTOR®, they must abide by the REALTOR® Code of Ethics and have clear and transparent discussions with you about compensation. When finding an agent to work with, ask questions about compensation and discuss what you would like to offer buyers.

You have choices. Work with your agent to understand the full range of these choices when selling your home, which will help you make the best possible decision for your needs.

Selling your home is all about knowing the local housing market. Pricing your home correctly is crucial to maximizing the highest selling price possible. As an area expert, Malik Real Estate Group can help determine what direction the market is trending so you can make the right choices when it comes to selling your home.

Accurate pricing is key to get as many people as possible to tour and make offers on your home, especially when you first list your home. There’s a current pool of buyers waiting for new listings to hit the market which is why accurate pricing is crucial.

Once we’ve determined the price, we can give you advice about the little things that you can do to present your home in the best possible light. You’d be surprised by the simple measures you can take to dress up your home to attract more qualified buyers.

We have a marketing plan that is designed to get maximum exposure to the buyers that are currently looking. Through pricing, presentation, agent accessibility, and visibility, both on and offline, we can successfully sell your home to help you achieve your goals.

When you entrust us with your property, we guarantee to take the necessary steps to ensure a successful sale. Our marketing plan includes the following minimum services:

PLUS…

No Up Front Fees

There’s absolutely no upfront cost involved when placing your home on the market. Whether the home ultimately sells or not, we cover all the marketing cost.

Cancel at Anytime

With our EASY EXIT listing agreement, you can cancel the contract terms anytime. The traditional real estate listing agreement is terribly one sided. It’s a contract that your agent can cancel, but you can’t. That’s why we give you the right to cancel your listing agreement anytime prior to accepting an offer, no penalty and no questions asked! And if you’re not happy, fire me! You’re in control!
