What the Sitzer‑Burnett settlement actually changed: The 8th Circuit approved the NAR settlement, and the new rules focus on transparency, clearer agreements, and direct negotiation—not eliminating commissions or stopping buyers/sellers from using agents.

You’ll learn how commissions must now be disclosed, negotiated, and documented, why written buyer‑broker agreements are required before touring homes, and how MLS compensation rules have changed. We also break down who qualifies for settlement payments, how claims work, and how payouts are calculated.

Real estate still works the same—just with clearer expectations and better communication.
