Questions about these services

How are real estate agents paid in Arkansas?

Compensation is negotiable and set out in writing. Sellers sign a listing agreement; since August 2024 buyers sign a written buyer agreement before touring homes with an agent, stating what the agent will be paid and by whom.

Does Michelle Plant work with both buyers and sellers?
