How Much Commission Do Realtors Charge in Florida?

By Sylvain DuPont, Licensed Real Estate Broker · DuPont LLC · Serving Sarasota and Charlotte Counties

Realtor commissions in Florida have historically been 5 to 6 percent of the sale price. However, recent industry changes following the 2024 NAR settlement have changed how commissions are disclosed and negotiated.

The 2024 NAR Settlement Changes

Following the National Association of Realtors settlement in 2024, buyer agent commissions are no longer automatically included in the MLS. Sellers negotiate directly with their listing agent and buyers negotiate separately with their buyer's agent.

What You Pay with DuPont LLC

DuPont LLC offers both traditional listings and cash purchases. On a traditional listing, commissions are discussed clearly upfront with no surprises. On a cash purchase, there are no agent commissions at all.

What Are Standard Closing Costs in Florida

Beyond commissions, Florida sellers typically pay documentary stamp taxes, title insurance in some counties, and prorated property taxes. DuPont LLC provides a full net sheet so you see exactly what you keep.

The right question is not what the commission is but what you walk away with. DuPont LLC provides a side-by-side net proceeds comparison for both a cash offer and a traditional listing so you can make an informed decision.
