While the proposed NAR settlement removes the Buyer-Broker Compensation from the MLS, it explicitly states that Sellers are still allowed to offer this compensation. It’s important that it be removed from the MLS and all public IDX feeds to avoid the perceptions of collusion and/or steering.

1. Calling or sending text messages.
2. Displayed prominently on broker or agent websites.
3. Sending email newsletters with your listings.
