What is a Realtor?

Realtors are real estate professionals that are members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR). NAR is a big spender on federal lobbying and political influence in the United States. We are not a member of NAR.

How do real estate agents get paid?

Real estate agents are usually independent contractors. Total commissions generally range from 4% to 6% of the home’s sale price in MA. The total amount is typically split evenly between the listing agent’s brokerage and the buyer’s agent’s brokerage. Each brokerage takes a % to cover overhead, liability, and office support, leaving the remaining portion as the individual agent’s gross income.

What are some recent MA law changes?

Landlords may not pass the usual one-month broker fee to the tenants. In apartment buildings where moving fees are assessed, Landlords cannot charge it to their tenants. Buyers can request home inspections after the acceptance of offer.
