Q. How do I format my compensation in the MLS?

A. Compensation Specifications

Section 8.7 of the PRO Rules & Regulations states that the compensation specified on listings filed with MLS must appear in one of two forms:

  • A percentage of the gross selling price
  • A definite dollar amount

The rule also states that compensation expressed as a percentage must include the “%” sign and dollar figures must include the “$” sign.  Failure to do so could result in a fine. “%” or “$” is very important to include so that MLS Participants clearly know the compensation they will receive in cooperative transactions.
