Depending on the owner’s preferences, the agent may collect offers via in-person or virtual open houses, digital marketing, and traditional advertising such as signs and printed ads. Closing a sale at or above the buyer’s chosen price entitles the agent to a commission, either as a flat rate or a percentage of the final price.

  • Dual Agency (§ 87AAA3/4(b)) – Dual agency representation may be granted to a broker if each individual involved in the transaction signs an authorization document.
