Exciting news from the VA about buyer agency compensation to ensure veterans aren't disadvantaged post-NAR settlement. 👀

The VA's current rule prevents veteran buyers from being charged a fee related to a buyer broker, putting them at a disadvantage if sellers don't offer compensation. At a recent Mortgage Bankers Association conference, the VA announced they’ll release a circular in June to address this issue. ✅

We anticipate other financing bodies, like FHA, may also adjust their rules to allow larger concessions, helping buyers finance these commissions. Notably, major MLS systems are now permitting fields for seller-offered concessions, enhancing transparency for buyers.

These changes are crucial for anyone buying or selling a home. 🏡 Make sure your agent is up-to-date and can navigate these new regulations, review closing costs with you, and maintain open, transparent communication.
