The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has released a consumer guide outlining ten key questions homebuyers should ask potential buyer's agents. This guide emphasizes the importance of understanding an agent's services, market expertise, compensation structure, and client references. A related article highlights the guide's significance in a changing real estate landscape, where buyer expectations are increasing, and agents need to showcase their value proposition effectively to counter recent legal challenges to commission structures. The NAR is promoting the guide as part of a broader consumer outreach campaign to empower buyers and strengthen the Realtor brand. The guide's advice directly addresses concerns around transparency and agent accountability.
