YFP Real Estate Investing 118: Navigating the NAR News: Insights for Real Estate Investors
Hosts David and Nate break down the NAR settlement and what it means for the future of buying and selling homes. Summary On March 18, 2024, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) announced it had reached a $418 settlement in an antitrust lawsuit. NAR, which represents over one million Realtors, agreed to put in place a new set of rules, including changes to the typical 6% of the sale price paid by sellers toward a fee split between the buyer's agent and seller's agent. Hosts David Bright and Nate Hedrick, who is a licensed real estate agent himself, break down the ramifications of this ruling and what it means for the way Americans buy and sell homes. About Today's Guests Nate Hedrick is full-time pharmacist by day, husband and father by evening and weekend, and real estate agent, investor, and blogger by late night and early morning. He has a passion for staying uncomfortable and is always on the lookout for a new challenge or a project.

He's been a full-time professor since 2009 with a passion for implementing and improving pharmacy services. Themes of "implementing and improving" in the pharmacy space are quite similar to themes of "building and fixing" in real estate, which has been a growing hobby for David and his wife, Heather, who bought their first house more than ten years ago. That fixer-upper house became a live-in house flip, which they sold a few years later, only to repeat the process with their next house. When David and Heather got sick of perpetually living in a construction zone, they pivoted to fixing up rental properties in West Michigan, where they now live. David invests in real estate as a way to bring greater diversity to financial planning and to fund memorable life experiences with family and friends.
