What are most NYC sellers offering for buyer broker compensation right now?
In the current transitional period, most NYC sellers continue offering 2-3% buyer broker compensation, communicated through broker remarks or listing descriptions rather than the MLS. This remains the dominant practice particularly for co-op listings, where buyer agent guidance through the board approval process is especially valuable. Monitor what comparable listings in your building and neighborhood are offering - that is your competitive benchmark.
