“[David]Chol added that Vanguard does not have a recruiting department or send blanket recruitment emails. He said he went to more than 50 lunches, dinners and coffee dates to get to know each new East Bay agent one on one.”

He has been BUSY!

What does this NAR lawsuit settlement mean?
Let's talk about it...
When this news story hit on Friday it seemed that people thought that previously realtors commission was set at 6% and now that amount is no longer set. That's not true. The commission amount was never set and it always was negotiable.
One big change that has been made is that the commission to the buyers agent is no longer allowed to be posted on the mls (multiple listing service). The buyers agent commission is also negotiable. As of this July before an agent can show any property to a potential buyer, a written work agreement (14 pages) needs to be agreed upon, which includes the commission amount.

There is a whole lot more to this and what it means to Sellers and Buyers. This will impact how real estate buying and selling is done.

But don't worry, your trusted real estate agent will help you guide you through it all 😉

If you want to understand this better, please reach out and I'll fill you in by phone or in person. Even if we're not working together, if I'm your facebook friend I'm happy to help! 😀
