As per the recent NAR settlement, offering any buyer's agent commission is now optional for the seller. The MLS prohibits any information or amount regarding any buyer's agent compensation offered. This may not be entered into any part of the MLS listing.
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.
HomeLister 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 a listing agent or broker. HomeLister is a limited services brokerage, which means a couple things: We must adhere to MLS rules to avoid fines for misrepresentation and HomeLister is a fantastic way to get your home listed on the MLS (a network that syndicates to public sites across the nation) for much less than listing with a traditional agent.
