NAR Reaches Agreement to Resolve Home Seller Class Action Lawsuits

WATCH: Litigation Update from NAR President Kevin Sears and CLO Katie Johnson

The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) has proposed a settlement to resolve litigation surrounding broker commissions, following the Sitzer-Burnett verdict and similar cases across the country. The settlement aims to relieve NAR and its million-plus members, state and local associations, MLSs owned by associations, and brokerages with NAR members from liability concerning claims on broker commissions made by home sellers.

This agreement, reached after considering various members’ perspectives, serves two primary objectives: releasing liability for many industry entities and preserving consumer options in real estate services and payment. Key aspects of the settlement include a $418 million payment over four years and the implementation of a new rule preventing compensation offers from being listed on the MLS while allowing negotiation outside of it. Additionally, MLS participants working with buyers must have written representation agreements.

More information about the announcement is available on facts.realtor, accessible with NAR login credentials, and updates will be provided on competition.realtor.
