Understanding Agent Compensation with ExpressOffers

As an agent using the ExpressOffers platform, your compensation is controlled by the agreement you have with your seller client.

Your primary role is to represent the seller. Any commission or compensation you receive should be negotiated directly with the seller and documented through your listing agreement or other applicable brokerage-approved agreement.

The ExpressOffers platform may display offer details, buyer terms, fees, or resale-related information depending on the buyer and offer structure. However, those platform details do not replace or control the compensation agreement between you and your seller.

Because ExpressOffers works with multiple buyers, any resale fee, buyer-paid fee, or buyer-specific compensation structure should be clarified based on the individual buyer’s offer terms. These items are separate from the compensation you have agreed to with your seller.

Key Points for Agents

Your compensation starts with your seller agreement.
Negotiate and document your commission with the seller upfront.

Platform output does not determine your commission.
Offer details shown in the platform may vary by buyer, but your compensation is governed by your listing agreement or applicable seller agreement.

Clarify buyer-specific fees.
If an offer includes resale fees, buyer-paid fees, or other buyer-specific terms, review and clarify those details before presentation.

Disclose where required.
Any additional compensation, incentive, or fee arrangement connected to the transaction should be disclosed to the seller in accordance with brokerage policy, state law, and applicable real estate regulations.
