As per the recent NAR settlement, offering any buyer's agent commission is now optional for the seller.
We cannot enter any buyer's agent commission amount into the MLS listing for you. The MLS will no longer permit any information buyer's agent compensation or financial incentives offered to be entered into the MLS listing itself.
This means you are to discuss and negotiate any buyer's agent compensation you are offering directly with your buyer and their agent. Some discuss this at the time of showing, otherwise a request may be included in any offer made to you.
You choose who to sell your home to. Only you can approve any commission or buyer's agent compensation, and you would do so directly with your buyer and their agent.
HomeRise is an excellent way to list your home on the MLS. The MLS is an agent-owned system and you cannot list on the MLS without the employ of an agent or broker. HomeRise is a limited services platform, which means a couple things: We must adhere to MLS rules to avoid fines for misrepresentation and you are empowered to have control over your sale terms.
