However, as of August 17, 2024, buyers must agree to their agent\u2019s fee in writing before touring homes. These recent changes make it more common for buyers and sellers to negotiate the buyer\u2019s agent fee as part of the offer. Buyers can still request that the seller cover the fee, but it\u2019s no longer guaranteed. Sellers will discuss compensation with their listing agents, and the final decision will depend on negotiations between both parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How is Redfin different when it comes to commissions?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Redfin, we\u2019ve always believed that consumers should get the best deal. Our fees when serving buyers vary by market, but are competitive because we know they could make the difference in your winning or losing an offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also offer additional savings for buyers who make a commitment to hire us after the first tour. With our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/sign-and-save\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sign &amp; Save<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> program, if you commit to hiring your Redfin agent before the second tour, we\u2019ll reduce our fee by 0.25%. We earn customers\u2019 business by providing the best service and value.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can buyers be asked to pay their agent\u2019s commission?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, buyers can be asked to pay their agent\u2019s commission, either partially or in full. Commissions are fully negotiable, and the recent changes in the real estate industry have made it more common for buyers and sellers to negotiate the buyer\u2019s agent commission as part of the offer. Buyers can still ask the seller to contribute to or cover the fee, but it\u2019s not guaranteed and depends on the terms agreed upon between both parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to expect as a buyer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a buyer, be prepared for the possibility that agent fees could become part of your negotiation. While some sellers may still cover the buyer\u2019s agent commission to stay competitive, this is no longer a certainty. Each transaction will vary, so it\u2019s important to stay flexible and discuss these details with your agent. Working with a knowledgeable <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">real estate agent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help ensure you\u2019re getting the best possible outcome for your home purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The NAR settlement primarily applies to listings on an MLS, and MLS rules may vary.
