# NAR Settlement: What Home Buyers Need to Know


### Learn why Boston area home buyers must sign a buyer agent agreement before touring a home with a buyer agent as a result of the NAR settlement practice changes

The National Association of Realtors and plaintiff attorneys settled class-action lawsuits regarding real estate commissions in March 2024. The settlement requires several practice changes, including written agreements between home buyers and buyer agents. These changes went into effect on August 17, 2024. The settlement does not lower or set real estate commissions but makes it clear that commissions are negotiable.

The following is the transcript of the video above about the March 2024 settlement of class-action lawsuits between the National Association of Realtors and plaintiff attorneys.
