Commission is negotiated, not fixed. Traditionally the seller pays the listing agent and may offer compensation to the buyer’s agent. Under the post-2024 structure, seller payment of buyer agent compensation is not guaranteed and must be explicitly agreed to. Buyer agent compensation can come from the seller, the buyer, or a combination depending on how the deal is structured. I help clients understand every option so their representation is protected, their costs are transparent, and their offer remains competitive.
