The Agent you choose REALLY does make a difference

Yes it does - and I think it very important that the seller understands - and agrees to - the split.  I believe that undercutting what is paid out can impact buyer agent draw.  If that results and the seller is not aware it would not seem right to me.  Our listing agreement makes this clear - total commission and how much it paid out, specficially stated.

Yes, Our forms have both the total commish and co-broker commish. There are some agents that do not necessarily split them 50/50 but most do. For those that don't and keep more than half for the listing side, a few actually provide some extra service like agent paid staging and I know of one guy that actually pays for a home inspection and pays for minor repairs to be completed out of his pocket. So if that guy does a 3.5% listing side - 2.5% co broker side - it seems fair to me and still in the seller's best interest. All that said, by far, most of the heavy listing agent side commish splits are not in the seller's best interst (in my opinion). And I'm pretty sure those sellers don't understand that their agent is acting more for his/her own best interest than theirs. It's true the listing agents my spend more money on marketing but most of that market is for picking up more clients.  Price, decent pics and getting the home on the MLS are what sells a home in this tech savy information age. And the buyer's agents actually put in more time and sometimes equal amount of cash (between gas and lunches - but mostly it's the time spent) to get a home sold. And in my opinion, people's time is more valuable/deserving than marketing dollars.

The Florida Exclusive RIght to Sell Listing Agreement is specific on this disclosure, as it the California Listing Agreement; yet it seems many sellers do not insist on an equal split.

only that compensation that is in the MLS, so it does not apply if a BA outside my MLS brings a buyer and they are paid based on how much of their job they do. If they start with "can't attend inspections, can't meet appraiser, can't let buyer in to measure" they are not getting the full BA commission.
