Demystifying Agency: What Massachusetts Buyers and Sellers Need to Know At Boston Connect Real Estate, we believe that education empowers our clients to make confident decisions. That's why Talk Real Estate Roundtable is more than just a show—it's a platform to inform, clarify, and uplift. On the May 24th episode, Sharon McNamara and Melissa Wallace tackled one of the most misunderstood topics in real estate: agency relationships in Massachusetts. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, or preparing to list your home, understanding who represents whom—and how—is critical. Why Agency Matters More Than Ever The real estate market is evolving, and so are the rules. With recent changes prompted by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) settlement, agency disclosure and buyer representation are under the spotlight. But too often, consumers are still confused. Here's the bottom line: When you call the listing agent, you're calling someone who works for the seller. Unrepresented buyers are not owed the same fiduciary duties as clients with a buyer's agent. Dual agency—where one agent represents both buyer and seller—is legal in Massachusetts, but it comes with important limitations and requires full consent from both parties. "Going Direct" Doesn't Always Pay One of the biggest myths Sharon and Melissa addressed? That going straight to the listing agent gets buyers a better deal. “The ‘deal' you're getting,” said Melissa, “is that you're not represented.” While some buyers think they'll save money by avoiding a second agent, Sharon pointed out that representation matters far more than imagined. Without it, buyers may not fully understand the process, negotiate effectively, or even realize what they're signing. Know Before You Go So what should buyers do? 1. Don't rush into contracts you don't understand. New regulations require agents to outline buyer compensation upfront. Make sure you know what you're signing—and what you're paying for. 2. Interview buyer agents. Just like hiring a financial advisor or contractor, you should feel confident in the person representing your interests. 3. Say less at open houses. Unless your agent is present, hold back on sharing personal details. The listing agent is listening—and works for the seller. Boston Connect: A Culture of Integrity The episode also spotlighted Boston Connect agent Matt Mahoney, who exemplifies what it means to lead with integrity. When faced with the option of dual agency, Matt chose to prioritize his client's best interests rather than chase both sides of a commission. Sharon praised this mindset, emphasizing how proud she is to have agents like Matt who go above and beyond to do what's right. Let Us Represent You the Right Way Real estate is complex—but at Boston Connect, we simplify it with transparency, professionalism, and heart.

Send us a textIn this episode of Dishin' Dirt, I discuss two issues. First, one of the lawyers from Sitzer/Burnette has stated publicly that he is coming for your JV agreements and any brokerage that encourages or compensation agents or brokers for pushing their ancillary products such as mortgage, title and insurance.  It is past time to take heed of this significant risk.Secondly, I examine the emergence of the American Real Estate Association (AREA) following the Sitzer/Burnett case. I evaluate the potential impact of AREA on the National Association of Realtors (NAR), emphasizing that while AREA may cause some challenges for NAR, it is not a direct threat. I also addresses the ongoing issues surrounding broker-to-broker compensation and the need for higher standards in real estate education and accountability. He concludes by advocating for a cooperative relationship between AREA and NAR, provided that both organizations prioritize the interests of real estate agents and consumers.Don't forget to like us and share us!Gary* Gary serves on the South Carolina Real Estate Commission as a Commissioner.

D. Scott Murphy, CEO and founder of D.S. Murphy and Associates, joins host Carol Morgan for this week's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. Murphy discusses the residential appraisal process in this podcast segment and how it factors into today's housing climate. How is the current state of the housing market affecting appraisals? When the volume of homes for sale dropped in recent years, appraisers took a hit. Appraisers build their opinions off recent sales, meaning they look at data from comparable properties sold in the last few months. The drop in sales has left them struggling to get that data for homebuyers. “There is no rule as to how far back I go, but the rule of thumb is three to six months,” said Murphy. “So, if I don't have good recent comparable properties, it makes my job a lot more challenging.” Increasing interest rates also factor in the sales cost of properties, sometimes creating a price tag higher than the appraised value. Since the early 2000s, the volume of homes sold has steadily decreased over time as interest rates rose. “The better analogy is that we had our foot on the accelerator, and it was pressed to the floor, then we took our foot off the accelerator,” said Murphy. “And we've just kind of coasted and slowed down a little bit. So that's how the market's gone.” However, federal rates lowered significantly this year, sparking homebuying activity across the country. Murphy emphasized that the National Association of Realtors (NAR) settlement also factors into home prices especially when homes are listed above appraisal value. It has caused discussion about commission structures and transparency among all parties involved in a real estate transaction. Many sellers are following a traditional standard and include the buyer's agent commission in the sales price. However, when buyers refuse to pay the commission or the buyer pays their agent directly, it can cause problems. How can appraisers use the latest technology to improve the appraisal process? The most common technology in the housing market today is automated valuation models (AVM). Heard of Zillow and Redfin Estimate? Those are both widely used AVM algorithms. Murphy said that even though these algorithms are not always high or low, they are always wrong because they don't consider the unique qualities of your home. That's the human touch that D.S. Murphy and Associates is proud to provide. Murphy said, “Particularly in the Atlanta area, Zillow is working off public record data, which is notoriously incorrect.” What resources are available for current and up-and-coming appraisers? Appraisal Institute offers worldwide services for appraisers and boasts high-quality courses taught by exceptional instructors. Anyone can sign up for classes, but appraisers should take note since many classes are required for continuing education. A two-year college degree, preferably in finance or real estate, is required for residential appraiser roles. Then, you must complete 90 hours of qualifying education through the Appraisal Institute to obtain a registered trainee's license. After that, 110 hours of classwork and two years of mentorship qualify you for a residential appraiser license. Tune in to the full interview above to learn more about residential appraisal. For more about D.S. Murphy and Associates, visit www.DSMurphy.com. More information about Appraisal Institute can be found at www.AppraisalInstitute.org. About D.S. Murphy and Associates D.S.

A large majority of Americans believe that owning a home is part of the American dream, with estimates ranging from 74% to 94%:  - **LendingTree**: 94% of Americans say that owning a home is part of the American dream.  - **Bankrate**: 74% of Americans say that owning a home is the number-one feature of the American dream.  - **Yahoo Finance**: 78% of Americans view owning a home as critical to the American dream.    According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), about 88-90% of home buyers in the United States use a real estate agent or broker to assist them in the home buying process.   Realtor Jamie Parker states, “I am not just the person showing you homes or listing your house; I am an agent who cares about you, your situation, and your needs. It is all about you! Let me help you buy or sell your next home in the metro Atlanta area."   **Why choose Jamie?** Atlanta is a competitive market with many real estate agents. My enthusiasm for my job and my dedication to Atlanta, being a native, help me stay at the forefront of meeting my clients' needs. My goal is to excel for you. My background in music performance and education enables me to understand the dedication required to perform at a high level. This passion for excellence is what makes me a great real estate agent and an asset to all my clients looking for homes in the Atlanta area.   I remember it like it was yesterday. I was sitting on my living room couch when my then-wife said, “I want a divorce!” At that point, we had been married for 25 years. I had met her shortly after high school during my first semester of college, and we married 18 months later. I had lived with her longer than I had lived with my parents. My whole world turned upside down.   What about the kids? What would they think? Moving? Lawyers? Many of you know the drill. A decision had to be made at this juncture: do I fall apart or do I rise up? I chose to rise up through divorce care, grief counseling, and a lot of spiritual guidance from what I call my circle of advisors (as mentioned in Proverbs).   I had to shift gears and learn how to be a single dad while still excelling as a top realtor. I discovered that I needed to become an expert at leveraging and finding people to help in time-consuming areas, allowing me to focus on my primary goal—prospecting. He joined me this week to share more.   For more information: https://rockinagent.com/  Follow: @jamieparkerrealtor  Call: (404) 483-7816

Click Here for the Show Notes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary In this episode of Ask Marco, Marco Santarelli discusses the recent legal actions against the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and their potential impact on the real estate market.

Jeremy Crawford, president and CEO of FMLS, joins host Carol Morgan for this week's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. In this podcast segment, Crawford discusses what the NAR settlement means for homebuyers. What is the NAR Settlement? According to the recent NAR settlement, Realtors, brokerages and other members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) owned or affiliated MLSs must establish a clear buyer agency agreement before the buyer agency can show a home to a consumer. This practice has been present in the state of Georgia since 1991. However, nationwide it's a large part of the settlement. As responsibilities shift to Realtor-owned MLSs, the pressure is on to enforce compliance as the housing market continues to grow. Considering these changes, FMLS has taken a position of consumer transparency. Its fields remain available and serve as offers of compensation from the seller to the buyer agency. These fields are optional, putting the decision to accept or pass at agents' fingertips. “FMLS does not arbitrate, mediate or get involved in the offer of compensation,” said Crawford. “We provide fields in the database for the listings that the agents can use at their discretion.” The NAR Settlement from the Buyer Perspective The NAR settlement added new challenges to the home buying process, affecting agents, buyers and brokers. As of August 2024, MLSs involved with NAR cannot put offers of compensation on multiple listing sites nor advertise that information. This update makes it difficult for brokers and agents to access crucial information for their clients and causes buyers' costs to rise as well. “The entire process for buying a home now is a little more complicated,” said Crawford. “It may be more expensive for the down payment and closing perspective for the buyers and less transparent, because they can't find the information on the Internet as easily as they could.” Buyers are expected to pay for their own representation now, which has created a shift toward home shoppers trying to browse on their own. Professional guidance is important during the homebuying process. There are many factors that often get overlooked without a trained eye, such as location, school districts, flood risk in certain areas, zoning, etc. What about home builders' ever-changing commission and compensation packages? Crawford notes that many agents are still engaging and writing up buyer-agency agreements with clients. “We now have many of the top builders in Atlanta or FMLS broker members - Toll Brothers, DR Horton, etc. - they're all FMLS broker members,” said Crawford. “Their listings are within FMLS, and they provide some level of offer of compensation to those agents who have a buyer community that would have interest and bring them a buyer. And I think the process there is still going to be the same for the builders. They're still going to offer opportunities for the buyer and the buyer agency who brings the buyer in.” Tune in to the full interview above to learn more about FMLS or visit ww.FirstMLS.com. About FMLS FMLS is the fourth largest multiple listing (MLS) service in the nation. Since 1957, it has served over 57,000 real estate professionals, including agents, appraisers, brokers and home inspectors. FMLS is privately owned and not affiliated with the National Association of Realtors. Crawford said, “Our mission is really to help brokers and agents transact real estate so they can fulfill the American dream of home ownership for their clients, be it buyer or seller.” A special thank you to Denim Marketing for sponsoring Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio.

How are you doing with these changes? Are you hanging in there, freaking out, or proceeding with confidence? In light of recent changes to commission-sharing policies, which went into effect on August 17, 2024, we've been monitoring the confusion in the marketplace after the first whole weekend of sales activity. Agents fall into several categories so far: -Educated, motivated, and entirely in action, operating 'business as usual'. or -Confused, needing more direction and leadership, resulting in either in-action or proceeding incorrectly.  (This is the case with agents trying to force open house buyers to sign a Buyer Agency Contract before entering the home). Most agents are somewhere between confident and confused. We'll help you fix that today and tomorrow. Most importantly, we will show you how to simplify all of this using some standard, simple practices that will alleviate stress for both you and your buyer clients! Our job is to educate you, motivate you, and get you into action in this new environment. We want you all to be in the first category so you can have your best quarter ever. Remember that knowledge = confidence, and ignorance = fear. That's why the following two podcasts will focus on clarifying best and correct practices based on fact, not guesswork.   The following points provide clear and concise direction based on the latest guidelines from the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). These clarifications will help you navigate the new landscape and ensure compliance with the updated policies. HUGE Announcement: You will love this!
