WHAT THE NEW LAWS MEAN TO BUYERS
EXPLAIN WHAT TO EXPECT IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
FOR BUYERS
- Explain that they will sign a written agreement with their agent before touring a home, whether virtually or in- person.
- Note that several states already have laws requiring buyer agreements and they should check their state laws.
- Explain that they do not need a written agreement if they are just speaking to an agent at an open house or
asking them about their services. - Underscore that before signing an agreement, they should ensure it reflects the terms they negotiated with their agent and that they understand exactly what services and value will be provided, and for how much.
- Underscore that agent compensation for home buyers continues to be fully negotiable and is not set by law.
- Detail the requirements of written buyer agreements (as detailed on slide 11) and answer their questions.
- Note that the home seller may agree to offer compensation to their agent, but the offer cannot be shared on an MLS.
- Ensure they know these practice changes go into effect August 17.

other limitations based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. - Note: MLS Participants and buyers are not required to enter into any particular relationship and will still be able to enter into any type of professional relationship permitted by state law.
WHAT THE NEW LAW MEANS TO SELLERS
EXPLAIN WHAT TO EXPECT IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
FOR SELLERS
- Explain to sellers that they still have the choice of offering compensation to buyer brokers and that it may be in the sellers’ best interest to pay for buyers’ commissions. Doing so attracts more buyers to their property, just like setting an accurate list price.
- Underscore that agents must conspicuously disclose to sellers and obtain their approval for any payment or offer of payment that a listing broker will make to another broker acting for buyers.
- Note that this disclosure must be made 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.
- Explain that if they choose to approve an offer of compensation, it cannot be included on an MLS.
- Describe to sellers how agents can advertise listings off of MLS platforms such as social media, flyers, and
websites. - Inform them they can still offer buyer concessions on an MLS (for example, concessions for buyer closing costs).
- Ensure they know these settlement practice changes go into effect August 17.
- As always, note that home sellers are required by law to do business with prospective buyers without
regard to their race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin.
