Find a Top Real Estate Agent Near You

Are real estate agents getting paid differently?

I've heard that there's going to be changes in paying a real estate agent. I'm considering selling my house and wondering how that will impact me. Should I try to sell before or after the changes? Thanks.

Disclosing the amount commissions are paid and how they are paid, should have always been discussed and explained prior to signing any contract. Moving forward that same practice should exist. If you are ready to sell your home now, by all means contact an Agent. There are plenty of Buyers ready to purchase now.

Real Estate Agents need to disclose the commission they are making upfront before a contract is wrote up. The Department of Justice just want to know that the buyer and seller both negotiated the commission before entering into a purchase contract. Example Buyer Agent would have to sign a buyer agency contract explaining the commission and duties they are going to perform for the buyer and then find the buyer a home. Before most buyers agents took the commission the seller would offer.
