On Aug. 17, 2024, practice changes following the National Association of Realtors® 's Proposed Settlement Agreement, designed to resolve claims brought on behalf of home sellers related to broker commissions, were officially implemented across the country.
REALTOR® MLSs (those owned exclusively by one or more REALTOR® Associations) were required to implement the changes by Aug. 17 to remain in compliance with NAR policy.
Under the settlement, the following practice changes are now in effect:
Additionally, Aug. 17 marked the first date members of the “Settlement Class”— home sellers who sold a home on an MLS anywhere in the U.S. during the eligible date ranges and paid a commission to a real estate brokerage in connection with the sale of the home—can be informed about NAR's proposed settlement of the Sitzer-Burnett case, through a process called class notice. Notice will be distributed by mail and electronically. Class notice informs class members of their rights, options and deadlines to exercise those rights and options under the proposed settlement.
