Navigating Change #6: Post-NAR Settlement: How to Handle Paperwork, Compliance, and Compensation at Every Step

The NAR Commission Settlement new rules are now in effect, and we are getting more and more “questions from the field” every day.

It’s critical you feel confident and protect yourself, your deals, and your reputation.

This workshop is designed to guide you through every step of "papering a deal," ensuring that you're fully compliant while keeping transactions smooth and profitable.

In this workshop, we discussed:

• How the changing market impacts the way you document transactions.
• How to use forms and ensure you're on the right track from the beginning. Mastering these forms will keep you in line with evolving regulations and help you avoid costly mistakes.
• Real-deal, latest compensation models – learn how to navigate unrepresented buyers and handle "papering compensation" effectively. With different models on the table, you’ll gain clarity on how to choose the best option for each deal.
• "Proof of compliance" at each stage, ensuring you’re not just getting the paperwork done but doing it right and a few best practices from the field too.

Plus, you’ll leave with a bonus “offer comparison worksheet” to streamline future deals.

This is your chance to get ahead of the changes, simplify your processes, and stay compliant in a complex market. Sign up now and make sure you’re prepared to close every deal with confidence.
