Big News for Maryland Home Sellers: Potential Changes to Real Estate Commissions

Have you heard? The National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently announced a potential shift in the real estate commission structure, impacting home sellers nationwide. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know:

The Current Landscape: Traditionally, sellers pay a commission split between their listing agent (typically 2.5% – 3%) and the buyer’s agent (another 2.5% – 3%). This means a seller could be paying a total of 5% – 6% of the sale price in commission fees.

The Potential Change: A recent NAR settlement might lead to a more negotiable process for buyer agent commissions. While details are still being finalized, this could potentially give sellers more control over their commission costs.
