Who pays the buyer's agent commission when you buy a home in 2026?

Commission for a buyer's agent in 2026 comes down to whatever that buyer and agent put in writing together before any home gets toured, not an amount pulled automatically from the seller's side of the deal. A seller can still choose to cover some or all of that negotiated amount as part of accepting an offer. Brian Beatty discusses his own terms with every buyer before a single showing.
