How does buyer agent compensation work under the new NAR rules?
Under 2024 NAR settlement changes, buyer agent compensation is now negotiable and clearly disclosed upfront. Here's how I handle it:
- Transparency first: During our initial consultation, I explain all compensation structures before you view any properties
- Flexible arrangements: In some cases, sellers offer buyer agent compensation. In others, buyers compensate their agent directly
- Written agreement: We'll create a clear buyer representation agreement that outlines exactly how I'm compensated
- Your advocate always: Regardless of compensation structure, my job is negotiating the best possible outcome for you
My commitment: I never let compensation affect which properties I show you or how hard I negotiate on your behalf.
Can you help me sell my Brooklyn home and buy in New Jersey at the same time?
Absolutely—this is one of my specialties. I frequently coordinate dual transactions for families relocating from NYC to New Jersey. My dual market expertise and experience managing complex transactions ensure everything runs smoothly, including:
