Last updated November 14, 2026. Citations come from the Florida statutes and official agency pages linked in Sources. Where we could not confirm something on an official page, we say so.
We did not find a Florida statute that sets a real estate commission rate, and the licensing law exempts individuals who sell their own property. Compensation questions go to the listing contract.
What we confirmed
- The definition of 'broker' in the licensing law covers persons who sell or negotiate the sale of real property of another 'for a compensation or valuable consideration', so commission activity requires a license (the statute defines the activity, not a rate). (Fla. Stat. Sec. 475.01(1)(a) (2025 Florida Statutes))
- Licensees may not share a commission with, or pay compensation to, an unlicensed person for referral of real estate business, clients, prospects or customers. (Fla. Stat. Sec. 475.25(1)(a))
- Persons who sell, exchange or lease their own real property are exempt from the licensing part, so no commission is required if no licensed agent is hired. (Fla. Stat. Sec. 475.011(2))
Selling a house in Florida?
We buy Florida houses as-is, with no commission, no repairs and no closing costs to you.
What we could not confirm
- Whether commissions are negotiable under any official guidance.
- No Florida statute opened that fixes or caps a real estate commission rate; the opened s. 475.25 page did not contain a rate provision (an extraction reported none).
- Buyer-broker agreement and written-agreement requirements after the 2024 NAR settlement and any Florida statute on them were not confirmed from an official source (DBPR FREC rule 61J2 not opened).
How to sell a house in Florida when this applies to you
- Find out what the title company needs. For an inherited or transferred house, that usually means the recorded document that shows who owns it today.
- Get a payoff for any mortgage and the amount of any unpaid property tax. Both are paid from the sale proceeds at closing.
- Compare offers on what you net after repairs, commissions and closing costs, not on the headline price.
- If you want a fast, simple closing, ask for a written cash offer. We buy houses as-is, with no repairs and no agent commission. See how we buy houses in Florida.
Florida Real Estate Commission FAQ
Does Florida set a commission rate?
We did not find a statute that does. Ask each broker for the rate in the listing agreement.
Do I owe a commission selling to a cash buyer?
Not on our offers. Our offers carry no agent commission, fees or closing costs to you.
Can I sell my Florida house as-is?
Yes. A cash buyer purchases as-is, and the title company pays any mortgage and unpaid property tax from the proceeds at closing.
