After the NAR settlement, sellers are no longer required to offer buyer broker compensation through the MLS. However, not offering compensation may reduce the pool of buyer agents willing to show your property.

The key is understanding that this is now a negotiable business decision, not a mandatory practice - evaluate the trade-off for your specific market.
