The following is a summary of the questions and answers from the 2024 Hotline. The Louisiana REALTORS® maintains a hotline for their Brokers to answer questions affecting the real estate industry as a whole. The hotline does not provide legal advice but provides general information. It is important to note that the laws and court decisions affecting these responses to these questions may change as new laws are passed and new court decisions are published. We cannot comment on or provide advice with respect to specific transactions. These responses are for general information only.
Note that some of the responses provided herein were generated prior to the National Association of Realtors (“NAR”) Settlement going into effect. That is, on August 17, 2024, several practice changes affecting compensation and communication in residential real estate transactions went into effect.
