The way people buy and sell homes with a real estate agent could soon change for buyers, sellers, and agents. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) agreed Friday to pay a lawsuit settlement of $418 million to home sellers across the country. So, what could that mean for all parties involved?

Emma Romito has never been in a sucking pluff mud grip or hammered apart oyster clusters on the public shellfish beds in Murrells Inlet. She doesn’t track the tides, know it’s important to rinse mud from boots and buckets before it dries harder than cement or get a homecoming feeling when she inhales the salty marsh. There aren’t coastal oyster beds in Cincinnati, Ohio. But she spent a day of her spring break with her sister and mother shoving oyster shells in a wire box they’d built with other volunteers gathered in the back parking lot of the Coastal Carolina University Science Center.

It all started during the 2011 college football season when the Kappa Sigma fraternity at Coastal Carolina University hatched a plan: they’d get a live rooster mascot to show off at their tailgate. The Japanese Shamo they found for sale was just right—a fighting rooster like the Chanticleer, complete with feathers the same shade of teal as the school’s colors. But caring full time for a chicken, it turns out, isn’t exactly what frats do best. Enter Melissa Stalvey. Her husband’s family had been raising chickens in Myrtle Beach for a generation, and although she’d grown up in Indiana as a Notre Dame fan, she’d come to “bleed teal” in support of her husband’s alma mater. An arrangement was made whereby she would keep Maddox (named after the CCU English professor who picked the school’s mascot in the 1960s), allowing the Kappa Sigs to pick him up on game days.
