In this episode of the All Things Real Estate Podcast, host Chris McAllister is joined by co-host Laci LeBlanc and special guest, top-producing listing agent Priscilla McNamee. They dive deep into the National Association of Realtors (NAR) lawsuit settlement, breaking down exactly what it means for home sellers and how it’s reshaping the real estate industry.
This episode covers:
- Why the NAR settlement is a game-changer for sellers
- How home sellers now have more control over commission negotiations
- The biggest challenges and opportunities this creates
- How ROOST Real Estate Company is leading the way in helping sellers maximize their profits in this new landscape
If you're a homeowner considering selling, a real estate investor, or just want to stay informed on the biggest shift in real estate in decades, this episode is a must-listen!
Key Takeaways:
- The NAR Settlement Explained – The lawsuit challenged how real estate commissions were structured and disclosed. The settlement eliminates the requirement for sellers to pay a buyer’s agent commission. More transparency is now required in all transactions.
- What This Means for Sellers – More control over costs – Sellers decide whether to offer compensation to buyer agents. Increased flexibility – New options for negotiating and structuring deals. Greater transparency – Clearer breakdowns of costs in all contracts.
- The New Reality for Buyer Agents – Buyer agents must now have a signed agreement with their clients before showing homes. Buyers may need to cover their agent’s commission themselves or negotiate it with the seller. Some buyer agents are pressuring sellers for compensation, making negotiations trickier.
- How ROOST Real Estate Company is Helping Sellers Win – We may already have a buyer for your home! Thanks to our extensive database of buyers, sellers benefit from our proactive marketing.
- Market Trends & Future Predictions – Some sellers refuse to pay buyer agent commissions – Priscilla shares insights from an upcoming listing where the seller won’t offer buyer compensation. Expect to see more unrepresented buyers approaching listing agents directly. Some agents and buyers still don’t fully understand these changes – leading to confusion and frustration. More lawsuits could be on the horizon as unethical practices emerge.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
