Frequently Asked Questions for Sellers Under the New Real Estate Commission Rules
The new commission rules have altered the traditional payment structure for real estate commissions. Now, sellers are not required to agree to pay the commissions for both parties at the time of listing their homes. Additionally, agents can no longer communicate “offers of compensation” through local Multiple Listing Services. Buyers and sellers may need to negotiate commission payments directly, and buyers might have to pay their agent’s commission out of pocket.
Indeed, offering to pay the buyer’s agent commission is still possible, but it requires an explicit agreement with the buyer’s agent. Unlike before, this arrangement will not be conducted through the MLS.
Since you are no longer required to pay the buyer’s agent commission, you may have more flexibility with your listing price. This could potentially make your property more attractive to buyers who are now responsible for their agent’s fees​.
The impact on the speed of sale will depend on various factors, including market conditions and how appealing your commission arrangement is to buyer’s agents. Transparent and competitive commission offerings can still attract motivated buyer’s agents​.
Consider the overall market conditions, the typical commission rates in your area, and the value provided by the buyer’s agent. It’s important to negotiate a fair rate that reflects the services offered by the buyer’s agent.

All commission arrangements should be clearly disclosed in the listing agreement and any promotional materials. Transparency is key to ensuring that potential buyers understand the costs associated with purchasing your property​.
Your relationship with your listing agent should remain focused on marketing and selling your property effectively. The new rules may encourage more collaborative and flexible commission agreements between listing agents and buyer’s agents.
While the new rules may change the dynamics of commission negotiations, good buyer’s agents will still seek to work with sellers who offer fair and transparent commissions. Building a strong relationship and clear agreement with buyer’s agents can facilitate successful transactions.
Work closely with your listing agent to ensure all commission agreements are properly documented and disclosed. Stay informed about the latest regulations and seek legal advice if necessary to ensure full compliance with the new rules.
