Do I have to pay a commission to an agent that brings a buyer?

You are not required to offer a commission, but we highly recommend it. A buyer’s agent commission is an amount you are willing to pay a real estate agent that brings you a willing and able buyer. On MLS, a buyer’s agent is made aware of what a seller is willing to pay. In our opinion, the amount should be competitive, typically between 2% and 3% of the selling price. The more you offer, the more enticed a buyer’s agent would be to bring a buyer to your home.
