Understanding the 2024 Rule Changes: What Central Florida Sellers Need to Know

If you’re considering selling your property in Central Florida, you may have heard about the recent changes in real estate regulations. These updates are designed to benefit sellers like you, adding transparency and integrity to the real estate industry while giving you more control over how you list your home. As a professional and highly experienced brokerage, we at Vacay & Co Real Estate—with 19+ years in the local market—want to ensure you’re informed and ready to take full advantage of these changes.

What’s Changed in 2024? 🏡

One of the biggest shifts in 2024 is the introduction of new rules requiring contracts for property showings and transactions. While this might sound like more paperwork, it’s a vital step in ensuring that all parties involved in a sale operate with integrity and clear expectations.

For Sellers, this change ensures that any buyer or agent who views your property is committed and serious, preventing wasted time and energy. This rule enhances professionalism and transparency, making the selling process smoother and more secure for everyone.

Tailored Listing Packages for Every Seller 💼

At Vacay & Co Real Estate, we understand that every seller has unique needs. That’s why we’ve designed flexible listing packages that give you the freedom to choose the level of service that suits you best. Whether you’re looking for a more hands-on approach with full-service marketing or a streamlined, more budget-friendly option, we’ve got you covered.

Our professional marketing campaigns are robust and strategic, reaching local, national, and international buyers to sell your property for top dollar. From high-quality photography, targeted online advertising, social media outreach, and even international listings, our approach ensures your property gets the attention it deserves—without cutting corners.

Buyer’s Agent Commission: Is It Necessary?

Another important change is the increasing flexibility sellers have when it comes to offering a buyer’s agent commission. Traditionally, it’s common for sellers to offer a percentage of the sale price as commission to the buyer’s agent. However, under these new rules, sellers are not required to pay a buyer’s agent commission.

While it’s legally optional, we do recommend offering a competitive commission to attract more interest from buyer agents. Doing so can increase your chances of a faster sale and potentially lead to better offers. The more attractive your listing is to buyer agents, the more likely you’ll secure a smooth, timely transaction.

How Does This Benefit You as a Seller? 🔑

These rule changes and our commitment to transparency directly benefit you:

  1. Increased Integrity: With contracts required for showings, you can trust that interested buyers are serious and well-vetted.
  2. Full Control: Our flexible listing packages mean you have control over how your property is marketed and what fees you’re comfortable offering.
  3. Maximized Returns: Our strategic marketing campaigns ensure that your home gets in front of the right buyers, resulting in a timely sale for the best possible price.
  4. Proven Experience: With nearly two decades of experience in the Central Florida real estate market, we have the knowledge and expertise to guide you through the entire process.
