New laws will bring change to the industry, but not as much in Wisconsin
RHINELANDER, Wis. (WJFW) – A recent anti-trust settlement by the National Association of Realtors will require home-buyers to sign an agreement with a realtor before touring a house either virtually or in person.

That will now change, and the buyer will bear responsibility for paying their own realtor.
