Don't read the headlines, that sells papers or entices clicks.
I am a real estate agent.
NAR never set the commission in the first place. It simply means the selling agent (aka buyer's agent) will not have their compensation published in the MLS when the listing agent (seller's agent) puts the home for sale. I believe Connecticut has had this system in place for a while.
Buyers will have to compensation their agent, (which will be difficult, waiting for this to play out) or compensation can still be paid by the seller, as part of negotiations.
