New Additions to Consumer Guide Series
Louisiana REALTORS® • August 30, 2024
NAR has shared the next two resources in its new “Consumer Guide” series, which cover the following topics:
- Open Houses and Written Agreements: Defines key terms under the settlement in consumer-friendly language and helps to explain when agents are required to enter into written agreements with buyers and when they are not.
- REALTORS’® Duty to Put Client Interests Above Their Own: Explains what it means for a REALTOR® to act in their client’s best interest and describes how the practice changes combat unlawful steering practices.
Designed to be given directly to inquiring buyers, these resources are part of NAR’s ongoing campaign to help our members bring clarity to the practice changes for consumers. Both guides are available for download on facts.realtor. As a reminder, the first installment in this series was an overview of written agreements, which can be found here.
NAR hopes this series of resources is helpful as we all navigate this challenging transitional time. We appreciate your efforts to provide clarity to consumers and fellow agents on specific aspects of the practice changes as we aim to help everyone comply and adapt.
