If you’ve been following the recent commission lawsuit stories, you know they have severely impacted our Veteran and Military Community. Under current rules, a VA buyer cannot pay for a buyer’s agent commission, putting them at a severe disadvantage in an already competitive market. We’ve been fighting hard to get the VA or NAR to change this policy. Our prayers have been answered, and it seems there’s a solution in the works. Here is a summary of the letter from the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) to the VA:
Date: April 3, 2024
Mr. John Bell, III, Executive Director, Loan Guaranty Service, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Key Points:
1. Acknowledgement: The MBA appreciates the VA’s commitment to providing affordable housing for veterans through the VA home loan program.
2. Recent Developments: The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) has proposed a settlement for class action lawsuits alleging antitrust violations. This settlement, expected to take effect in July 2024, may influence sellers’ decisions to cover buyer agent commission fees.
3. Impact on Veterans: The current VA policy prohibits veterans from paying fees or commissions to real estate agents for VA home loans. This puts veterans at a disadvantage if sellers do not cover these costs, making the home-buying process less attractive for veterans.
Todd Armstrong (DRE# 01256537)
4. Recommendation: The MBA urges the VA to amend its regulations to allow veterans to pay reasonable and customary fees and commissions to real estate agents. If a rulemaking process is necessary, the MBA recommends an Interim Final Rule to ensure veterans remain competitive during the process.
5. Conclusion: The MBA values its partnership with the VA and encourages prompt consideration of this policy update.
Signed: Pete Mills, Senior Vice President, Residential Policy and Strategic Industry Engagement,Mortgage Bankers Association
This development is a significant step towards addressing the commission dilemma facing our veterans, ensuring they have a fair chance in the housing market. We will continue to monitor and support efforts to finalize and implement this much-needed policy change.
