Do I pay my REALTOR or does the seller pay the REALTOR?

This was a question that someone searched in Google which ultimately brought them to the Florida real estate view blog.

Were I able to speak directly to this individual my answer would be that in most situations in Central Florida, the buyer is not charged a fee by the REALTOR. While there are situations where a buyer could choose to pay a REALTOR to work exclusively for them in finding and negotiating for a home, the REALTOR(s) involved in most Central Florida transactions are commonly paid from the seller's proceeds from the sale as agreed upon in the listing contract the seller and listing agent have negotiated.

If you would like to discuss the cost and fees of using a real estate agent, give me a call.
