NAR has recently introduced the "Consumer Guide" series, designed to be given directly to consumers. This initiative is part of NAR’s ongoing efforts to help members explain important practice changes more clearly to clients.

Here are the currently available guides:

• Written Buyer Agreements
• Open Houses and Written Agreements
• REALTORS'® Duty to Put Client Interests Above Their Own
• What Veterans Need to Know About Buying a Home
• Offers of Compensation
• Negotiating Written Buyer Agreements
• Seller Concessions
• Multiple Listing Services (MLSs)
• Fair Housing

Each guide is available as a PDF in both English and Spanish.

NOTE: Consumer guides do not constitute any change in NAR policy. Real estate professionals must ensure they market properties consistent with relevant MLS rules and educate sellers on the choices available.
