(The Center Square) – Despite a recent lawsuit affecting real estate commissions, a new survey shows home sellers still prefer hiring a real estate agent for the transaction.

In the settlement, the National Association of Realtors agreed to pay $418 million over four years and amend some of its rules. The most prominent changes, which took effect in August, banned commissions from Multiple Listing Services and required signed buyer’s broker agreements before a broker could show a client a house.
