VA Temporarily Allows Veterans to Pay Real Estate Agents Directly, Enhancing Homeownership Access

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced on Tuesday a temporary policy change allowing VA home buyers to pay their real estate agents directly. This move aims to determine if a formal rulemaking process is needed and offers relief to VA home buyers. The National Association of REALTORSĀ® (NAR) has been advocating for this change to support VA buyers who faced hardships due to a previous rule prohibiting them from paying brokerage fees or commissions for real estate services.
