ANNOUCEMENT from OMCAR

Beginning 2025, the National Association of REALTORS® added a fair-housing training requirement for new and existing members. Realtor applicants will now complete two hours of fair-housing training, and existing Realtors must complete two hours of fair housing training every three years. Courses satisfying the new NAR requirement are: At Home With Diversity, a course to help real estate professionals work successfully in an increasingly diverse marketplace. Bias Override: Overcoming Barriers to Fair Housing, a course to help real estate professionals identify and interrupt stereotypical thinking to avoid fair housing pitfalls and Fairhaven, NAR’s online fair housing simulation, will also be updated to meet the stated learning objectives and two-hour minimum time frame so that it can be included in the list of qualifying courses and serve as the no-cost option.

WAIVING COMMISSION ON YOUR PERSONAL RESIDENCE: 7/31/2023

Advisors,

There continues to be confusion on our office policy regarding what the fees are for personally owned real estate and for the sale/purchase of a primary residence. For clarification, the following is our policy on both personally owned real estate and the sale/purchase of your primary residence:

Personal Residence (you must live in it if selling or moving into if purchasing) – Allowed once per year.

Pay the office the Buyer/Seller Fee of $350

E&O Insurance $35

Corporate Processing Fee – $162.90

Personally Owned Property (Investment)

IF a commission is being charged we will process it with the standard fees:

2% Marketing Fee (Corporate)

5% AAD Fee (Sponsor)

Buyer/Seller Fee $350

E&O Insurance $35

Corporate Processing Fee – $162.90

IF no commission is being charged, we will impute a 3% commission with the above fees and percentages applied. This will also apply if you are buying/selling for family members and waiving your commission.
