Even with discount commission options, it pays to do your homework. Interview multiple agents and negotiate fees and services. Some brokers offer tiered packages—basic, intermediate or premium—so you can choose the level of support that fits your needs. Our goal is to provide full service at a fair price, so you never feel you’ve sacrificed on marketing or negotiation.
MLS listings cannot display buyer‑agent commissions, but you can still offer a competitive fee off‑MLS to encourage agents to show your property. In many markets buyer‑agent commissions have dropped from 3% to around 2%. Decide what you’re comfortable paying, communicate it privately and remember you’re not obligated to pay a buyer’s agent.
Get the paperwork right. All agreements should state that commissions are negotiable and require written consent for any payment to cooperating brokers. Buyers’ agents must have signed representation agreements before touring properties. Proper documentation protects everyone and keeps your sale compliant.

By carefully evaluating agents and understanding what services are included, you can ensure you receive the marketing, negotiation expertise, and transaction support you need. Look for a listing agreement that clearly spells out which services are covered, such as professional photography, MLS exposure, open houses, and coordination with buyer agents. Ask each broker how they will market your home and what results they have achieved for other sellers. A transparent fee structure means there are no surprises at closing, and a lower commission does not have to mean lower quality if you select the right team.
