Here is a draft "buyer representation agreegemnt" for you to review. 

The NAR Settlement addresses allegations of anti-competitive behavior in real estate broker commissions, with NAR and major real estate companies agreeing to pay $418 million to settle the claims and implement changes in commission rules. Sellers may see more transparent and negotiable commission structures, potentially giving them more control over payments to listing and buyer agents, though the total fees paid by sellers may remain similar. Buyer agents may now be compensated directly by buyers, or sellers may cover their fees. These changes aim to increase transparency and marketability for sellers while requiring buyers to sign agreements detailing their agent's compensation. Practices will evolve based on market conditions.

Real estate agents are typically compensated through commission fees, which are a percentage of the selling price of a property. In most cases, sellers are responsible for paying these fees to both the listing agent and the buyer's agent. When a home seller signs a listing agreement, they agree to pay these agents a percentage of the final selling price, commonly ranging from 5% to 6%. The listing agent typically splits this commission with the buyer's agent, often in a 50/50 split, though this can vary. The commission structure is included in the listing information on the local Multiple Listing Service. With the recent settlement, there is a push for increased visibility and transparency in how real estate agents are compensated, potentially leading to changes where buyer agents may be compensated directly by buyers, or sellers may cover their fees.
