How listing commission works in Florida now
Florida sellers used to sign one total commission that the listing brokerage split with the buyer's side. Since August 2024, the two are handled separately.
Your listing agreement
Covers what you pay your own listing brokerage. It is negotiable, and it is where a discount applies. Our partners cut the listing-side fee by 25%.
Buyer agent compensation
Not advertised on the MLS anymore. You decide whether to offer anything, and buyers can ask for it in their offer as a concession.
The full picture of selling costs
- Listing brokerage fee.
- Any buyer agent concession you agree to.
- Documentary stamp tax on the deed, usually paid by the seller in Florida.
- Owner's title insurance, which by local custom is paid by the seller in some counties and by the buyer in others, including Miami-Dade and Broward.
- Prorated property taxes and any HOA or condo estoppel fees.
