Real estate commissions are one of the most common questions we hear — and there’s also a lot of confusion about how they work.
The most important thing to know? **There isn’t one standard commission rate.** Real estate commissions are negotiable and can vary depending on the agent, brokerage, property, and services being provided.
And with changes in the real estate industry over the past few years, **seller and buyer-agent compensation should be discussed separately and clearly before you sign anything.**
If you're thinking about buying or selling, we're happy to walk you through the costs, what services are included, and what you can expect from start to finish.
