Compensation Structure

YOU CAN SAY

Great question! Let's dig into how I can be compensated. With such a big purchase, it’s normal to be concerned about where every dollar comes from and goes. This is a common question due to recent industry changes.

New MLS rules eliminate historic practices making a seller's unilateral offer a legal obligation. Commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable for both the buyer and the seller agent. That said, there are several ways in which I can be paid for my services. These include:

The seller of the property you are interested in has offered to pay a commission to the buyer’s agent as part of the listing.
The seller has offered a modest commission towards the buyer’s agent as reflected in the listing, which would require either contribution by you as the buyer or we would include that as part of an offer you make on the property.
The seller has not offered to pay a commission to the buyer’s agent, but we include that requirement as part of the offer you make on the property.
The seller will not agree to pay a buyer’s agent commission, in which case you would be responsible for my compensation.

Based on the properties on the market, we can determine what works best for you.

Buyers may wonder why the seller is not paying a commission split. Be transparent about the many options buyers have under new compensation rules.
