A clearer way to buy in Southwest Florida

Buyer Agreements
Written buyer agreements and compensation
The industry practice changes that took effect August 17, 2024 increased transparency around buyer representation and compensation.
Written agreement before touring
A written buyer agreement is generally required before an MLS participant tours a home with a buyer, including an in-person or live virtual tour. The agreement explains the services and compensation terms.
Compensation is negotiable
Broker compensation is negotiable and should be clearly discussed before you sign. Sellers may choose to offer buyer-broker compensation or concessions, subject to the transaction terms.
