Do I have to pay a commission to a buyer's agent?

You are no longer required by the MLS to offer a Buyer’s Agent commission. It’s up to each seller if and what compensation you wish to extend to a Buyer’s Agent. With the current housing market, selling a home might be tough, and offering compensation through a concession might help.  If a seller chooses to offer Buyer’s Agent Compensation, ListWithFreedom will advertise the amount on our website and will communicate the same to agents upon request via phone, email, and/or text.

Buyer’s Agents might call to ask how much you’re willing to pay them. It’s a good idea to let them know you’re open to offering compensation as part of the deal through concessions.

But be careful if an agent asks you to sign a Compensation Agreement before you get an offer. It’s better not to sign this agreement too early because it can limit your ability to negotiate later.  

You have the ability to sell your home on your own with no buyer’s agent. If you select a buyer without the help of an agent, you will only pay our 0.25% (0.50% for the Gold package) compliance fee.
