In the inaugural episode of the All Things Real Estate Podcast, hosts Chris McAllister and Laci LeBlanc dive into the latest changes impacting the real estate market. With the recent National Association of Realtors (NAR) lawsuit settlement shaking up the industry, Chris and Laci explain how these changes affect buyers, sellers, and agents alike. They break down what the new commission transparency rules mean, the importance of buyer representation agreements, and how these shifts create opportunities for more informed and empowered real estate transactions.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a seasoned homeowner, or considering selling your property, this episode gives you the knowledge you need to navigate the new real estate landscape.
Key Takeaways:
- Overview of the NAR Settlement: Learn about the Sitzer Burnett vs. NAR lawsuit and how it’s changing the way real estate commissions are structured.
- Buyer Representation Agreements: A new requirement for all real estate transactions—buyers must sign formal agreements with their agents that clearly outline services and compensation.
- Commission Transparency: The settlement ensures that buyers are now fully aware of how their agents are compensated and gives them more negotiating power.
- Opportunities for Buyers: Buyers can negotiate flat fees, hourly rates, or commission percentages with agents, allowing for more flexibility and customization in service.
- Practical Advice for Buyers: Take your time interviewing agents, understand your options for commission payment, and ensure you're getting value for your investment in your real estate agent.
Quotable Moments:

- "You have more control, more responsibility, and more negotiating power in the real estate process now." – Chris McAllister
- "I think the very best agents are going to get really busy, while those who haven’t been professional will start to fade away." – Chris McAllister
Actionable Steps:
- Interview Multiple Agents: Don’t rush into signing with an agent. Take the time to find one who aligns with your goals and clearly explains their value and fees.
