Mods: Can you add a mandatory "Realtor" flair? Since NAR changes, sub is getting brigaded by scummy realtors.
There's obviously been lots of questions as the August 17 deadline approaches, with many states already starting the new rules. The rules are confusing for both new and experienced buyers, and even realtors don't understand the scope most of the time.
Many realtors are here providing misleading and dangerous advice to FTHB as a result, now that realtors are forced to be competitive on their commissions. Particularly the "benefits" of realtors related to legal advice and inspections are problematic, both of which are ethical violations for a realtor - Realtors are not lawyers nor licensed contractors.
