Realtor Commission Changes in Nashville
Realtor Commissions in Nashville: Our Transparent Approach ✅
The Real Estate Industry is Changing 🔄
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) settlement has changed how real estate commissions work nationwide, and we’re ahead of the curve with our transparent pricing model.
Key Changes as of August 17, 2024:
- No more pre-set buyer broker commissions advertised within the MLS 📝
- New requirements for written buyer representation agreements 📄
- Flexible, negotiable commission structures for both buyers and sellers 💰
Our Simple Commission Promise 💯
While other brokerages scramble to adjust their practices, we’ve maintained a straightforward approach:
2% listing commission for sellers and fair, negotiable compensation for buyers
As native Nashvillians with over 20 years in the Nashville real estate marketplace, we’ve built our business on transparent pricing that never compromises on service or quality.

FAQs About the New Commission Structure ❓
Do I need to sign a buyer representation agreement in Nashville? 📝
Yes, under the new NAR settlement rules, all buyers must sign a representation agreement before viewing properties. We make this process simple and straightforward with clear terms.
As a seller, can I still offer to pay the buyer’s agent commission? 💲
Absolutely. While we can no longer advertise a specific pre-set commission within the MLS, sellers can still offer to pay buyer agent commissions through other channels and during negotiations.
How do you keep commission costs lower than other agencies? 💰
We own our brokerage, which offers us savings that many agents can’t match without sacrificing service or quality. We’ve streamlined our operations while maintaining premium service.
Will buyers need to pay their agent directly now? 🤔
Not usually. While commission structures are changing, many sellers are still willing to cover some or all of the buyer’s agent commission, especially if it helps secure a strong offer.
