Consumer Transparency & Regulatory Notice

Buyer Representation Compliance

Current NAR MLS policy requires written buyer agreements for MLS participants working with buyers before touring a home, subject to applicable law. The agreement should explain services and compensation; broker compensation is not set by law and is fully negotiable. Open-house visitors acting on their own are treated differently.
