President Trump has signed into law H.R. 1815, the VA Home Loan Reform Act, which aims to make permanent the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' temporary policy allowing veterans to directly compensate their real estate agents, ensuring they can participate in the housing market on equal footing with other homebuyers. The National Association of Realtors has championed efforts to ensure veterans can access professional real estate representation, securing a 2024 temporary suspension of a VA policy that barred them from paying for such services.
