Yes, you can negotiate commission terms directly with a buyer’s agent.
Following the 2024 NAR settlement, commission offers are no longer displayed on the MLS, so buyer’s agents must now contact you to discuss compensation before showing your property.
You are:
- Not required to offer a specific commission
- Free to set or negotiate any amount (including offering none)
The choice of whether to offer a commission, and how much, is entirely up to you.
When a buyer’s agent contacts you, be ready to discuss your commission terms before approving a showing.
