Changes to Buyer’s Commission with the Texas Real Estate Commission

Important Updates for Home Buyers

In light of recent changes and upcoming regulations set by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) and the settlement by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), we want to ensure that our clients are fully informed about how these changes will impact the buyer’s commission process.

Key Changes to Buyer’s Commission

1. **Transparency in Commission Fees**:

– Real estate agents are now required to clearly disclose their commission rates upfront. This means you will have a clearer understanding of how much you are paying for buyer’s agent services from the start.

2. **Negotiability of Commissions**:

– Commissions are now fully negotiable. This allows for more flexibility and the opportunity to discuss and agree upon a rate that works best for both you and your agent.

3. **Buyer’s Agent Compensation Disclosure**:

– The exact amount of compensation a buyer’s agent will receive will be disclosed in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). This promotes transparency and helps buyers make more informed decisions.

4. **Guidance Through the Process**:

– We understand that these changes may seem overwhelming. Our commitment is to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that you are comfortable and informed.
