Realtors in wait-and-see mode in aftermath of national settlement

Just more than month after the National Association of Realtors announced it had settled lawsuits affecting how sales commissions are set, local Realtors and the public are still trying to figure out exactly what the changes will mean for home sales.

This uncertainty hasn’t stopped many from outside the industry from pontificating on its effect, arguing that the settlement will hurt lower-income homebuyers, transform the industry and forever change how much Realtors charge for services.
