Dishin' Dirt on Disclosing Referral Fees and Required NAR Membership for MLS Access
Season 5 · Episode 249
jeudi 4 décembre 2025 • Duration 26:44
The National Association of REALTORs was in the news last week concerning two policies. One was changed and the other was upheld.
First, NAR voted to end the requirement of NAR membership to gain access to REALTOR owned MLSs. This is a great policy change but did the change go far enough?
Secondly, NAR failed to approve the required disclosure of referral fees in a real estate transaction. This is a very bad look for the Association especially when you hear the amount of support in the Association for the change.
