The National Association of Realtors (NAR)
reached a tentative settlement of several class
action lawsuits regarding the way commissions
are paid in real estate transactions.  The changes
took effect today.  Sellers are now required
to decide the amount of compensation, if any,
they will pay to a buyer/tenant agent.

One of the changes will involve the Exclusive
Right to Represent the Buyer/Tenant
Agreement
that we use.  It has been the law in
Maryland that anyone searching for a property
to buy or rent using the services of a Realtor
must sign this agreement BEFORE they can
be shown any properties.  It outlines the amount
of compensation they will pay to their agent
for providing real estate services.  Depending
upon what, if any, compensation the seller
or landlord is offering, the buyer/tenant may
be responsible for paying their agent directly.
