Recently, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) decided to settle a lawsuit that I believe to be frivolous. While the settlement might seem to bring about change, it actually doesn't alter my business practices at all. However, it does make the cost of real estate more confusing and potentially more expensive for you, the consumer. 

Introduction:

This settlement has particularly tough implications for first-time buyers, lower-income FHA buyers, and my most served group - VA buyers who deserve a break. In essence, these groups may face more challenges now. The irony is that the real winners in this lawsuit were the lawyers, who operated with the same behaviors they accused our profession of.

I've always conducted my business with the highest standards, and these changes only mean that I will continue to serve you with the same dedication. I wrote about his recently in my post: In The Arena  It’s business as usual for me—but with a bigger and tougher job ahead, especially in helping those this lawsuit was supposed to protect.
