Abstract
This study investigates the evolving factors influencing real estate buyers' decisions to engage with real estate agents in the Boston area. By focusing on agent characteristics, legal considerations, market trends, and technological advancements, this research aims to understand how these elements are reshaping the role of buyer agents. As factors reshaping buyer’s decisions in real estate transactions remain fluid especially in the wake of the NAR Settlement, this study will research current opinions of both homebuyers and real estate agents. The objective is to provide insights into the shifting standards of buyer representation in the real estate industry and their broader implications for the market's future.
