]]> <![CDATA[Homebuyer Agency Contract and Compensation]]> HERE'S WHAT THE NAR SETTLEMENT MEANS FOR YOU
Buying a home is one of the largest financial transactions most people will ever undertake. Agents who are REALTORS® are a trusted source of advice and stand ready to help you navigate your homebuying journey and make the choices that work best for you. NAR's recent settlement has led to several changes that benefit homebuyers, and we wanted to clearly lay them out for you.
Here is what the settlement means for homebuyers:
• You will sign a written agreement with your agent before touring a home.
• Before signing this agreement, you should ensure it reflects the terms you have negotiated with your agent and that you understand exactly what services and value will be provided, and for how much.
• The buyer agreement must include four components concerning compensation:
a. A specific and conspicuous disclosure of the amount or rate of compensation the real estate agent will receive or how this amount will be determined.
b. Compensation that is objective (e.g., $0, X flat fee, X percent, X hourly rate)—and not open-ended (e.g., cannot be "buyer broker compensation shall be whatever the amount the seller is offering to the buyer").
c. A term that prohibits the agent from receiving compensation for brokerage services from any source that exceeds the amount or rate agreed to in the agreement with the buyer; and,
d. A conspicuous statement that broker fees and commissions are fully negotiable and not set by law.
• Written agreements apply to both in-person and live virtual home tours.
• You do not need a written agreement if you are just speaking to an agent at
an open house or asking them about their services.
• The seller may agree to offer compensation to your agent. This practice is permitted but the offer cannot be shared on a Multiple Listing Service (MLS)— MLSs are local marketplaces used by both buyer brokers and listing brokers to share information about properties for sale.
REALTORS® are members of the National Association of REALTORS®

• You can still accept concessions from the seller, such as offers to pay your closing costs.
These practice changes will go into effect August 17.
Here is what the settlement doesn't change:
• Agents who are REALTORS® are here to help you navigate the homebuying process and are ethically obligated to work in your best interest.
• Compensation for your agent remains fully negotiable, and if your agent is a REALTOR®, they must abide by the REALTOR® Code of Ethics and have clear and transparent discussions with you about compensation. When finding an agent to work with, ask questions about compensation and understand what services you are receiving.
• You have choices. Work with your agent to understand the full range of these choices when buying a home, which will help you make the best possible decision for your needs.

]]> <![CDATA[Ann Arbor Home Energy Rating Program (HERD)]]> The City of Ann Arbor HERD (Home Energy Rating Disclosure) process is an important component of the A2NetZero initiative in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This initiative focuses on promoting energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions in the community.

The HERD process requires home sellers to disclose information about the energy efficiency of their homes to potential buyers. This information includes details about the home's energy consumption, insulation, heating and cooling systems, and other relevant factors that contribute to its energy efficiency.

By providing this information to buyers, the HERD process aims to empower them to make informed decisions about the energy efficiency of the homes they are considering purchasing. This can have several benefits, including:

1. Energy Savings: Buyers can assess the energy efficiency of a home and make choices that can lead to long-term energy savings. This can help reduce utility bills and lower the overall environmental impact of the property.

2. Market Transparency: The HERD process helps create transparency in the real estate market by providing standardized information about a home's energy efficiency. This allows buyers to compare different properties based on their energy performance.

3. Environmental Impact: By incentivizing energy-efficient homes, the HERD process contributes to the overall goal of reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices in the community.

It's important to note that the specific requirements and regulations of the HERD process may vary, so it's advisable for sellers and buyers in Ann Arbor, Michigan to consult local authorities or real estate professionals for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Overall, the HERD process plays a crucial role in promoting energy efficiency and sustainability in the real estate market, benefiting both buyers and the environment. 

Program requirements commence March 12,2024
