Settlement Resources

Here is a link to the PDF settlement guide that contains the information we have, as well as draft agreements.

As promised, here is a video for those that were unable to attend one of the two agent zoom meetings this week, due to scheduling conflict or zoom room snafus.  We apologize that, despite paying for a 500 capacity room in advance and then 1,000 member zoom room during the morning, nothing seemed to budge past the 100 member mark. So frustrating for all, we know.

That said, here is a copy of the slides as promised, and below is a link to a Settlement Berkshire Update Video [1:15 minutes] going through the slides as we did in the meeting with a verbal explanation.  There is also a fantastic body of NAR legal videos on all topics that can be found at Facts.REALTOR or at the direct Windows of The Law Video Page. As things develop, we will continue to keep you posted! We would like to offer some resources for you to use in educating your buyer and seller clients and prospects about the changes coming to our industry.  Here are two PDF documents you can share electronically or print: Homebuyer Brochure and Homeseller Brochure about the settlement’s impact on them. If you have a Canva account, you can edit this template as you wish to mirror your own branding and download or print revised versions.

If you need assistance with adding your contact information and/or printing, please reach out to Linda@BerkshireRealtors.org and she can assist with options for us to help you print locally or drop ship to your office for a fee.  If your best method is a standard page / no graphics option, here is a link to the NAR 2 page PDF in 8.5 x 11: What the Settlement Means to Home Buyers or the What the Settlement Means for Home Sellers
