A lot of you have asked how you should discuss the NAR settlement with your Seller. Today I discuss some of the main points you want to emphasize to your seller about how the settlement did not change the law nor did it prohibit a seller from paying a buyer commission. I also discuss what the law suit was really about and what it was intended to change. Spoiler alert, I think it accomplished that intent. Of course, it will come with a lot of collateral damage.

See what he thinks could actually be seen as a strong change for good agents. Don't forget to like us and share us!Gary* Gary serves on the South Carolina Real Estate Commission as a Commissioner.
