About | Find BAComps

Our Mission

Make off-MLS buyer-agent compensation visible to the people who need it — buyer agents searching for listings, sellers deciding what to offer, and buyers trying to understand total cash-to-close.

Find BAComps was built after the 2024 NAR settlement, when cooperative compensation offers disappeared from MLS feeds but did not disappear from transactions. Sellers still negotiate concessions; buyer agents still need to know terms before showings.

Our platform gives listing agents a compliant channel to communicate compensation offers and gives buyer-side professionals a searchable view of disclosed buyer-agent compensation (BAC) — reducing guesswork in a market where the rules changed but the economics did not.

The 2024 NAR Settlement

Understanding the "Why" behind Find BAComps

The Change

The 2024 settlement ended posting buyer-broker compensation offers on the MLS. Sellers can still offer BAC — through concessions, direct payment arrangements, and off-MLS communication.

The Solution

Find BAComps is an off-MLS disclosure layer: listing agents publish seller-offered BAC; buyer agents and buyers search and filter before touring.

The Benefit

Fewer surprises at the offer table — clearer visibility into who may fund the buyer-side fee and how concessions typically work in your market.

Who we built this for

Four cohorts, one problem: buyer-agent compensation (BAC) is still negotiated — it is just harder to find after the NAR settlement changed the MLS rules.

Buyer's agents

Client advocates need listing-level BAC before showings and offers. Written buyer representation agreements, flat fee versus percentage models, and scripts that justify value all work better when seller-offered compensation is visible off-MLS — not guessed from listing price alone.

Listing agents

Listing agents communicate seller pay arrangements outside cooperative MLS fields. Industry data and broker guidance continue to show that disclosed BAC helps attract buyers and keep transactions moving when buyer-side professionals compare listings.

Home sellers

Sellers weigh buyer pool size against concession cost. Many feel offering compensation is necessary even though it is not required on the MLS. FSBO and flat-fee sellers use the same off-MLS disclosure patterns as full-service listing agents.

Home buyers

First-time and move-up buyers face the new normal of potentially paying their agent directly, plus hidden transaction fees that make cash-to-close confusing. Transparent search reduces surprises — Find BAComps is an education layer, not a substitute for your agent or attorney.

Why transparency matters now

Class-action lawsuits and settlement headlines left many consumers unsure who pays whom. We aggregate disclosed seller-offered BAC so negotiations start with facts. We do not provide legal advice or predict lawsuit outcomes.

Compliance posture

Find BAComps is designed for post-settlement off-MLS communication — not for republishing cooperative compensation on the MLS. Listing agents and brokers remain responsible for brokerage policy and state-specific disclosure requirements.

When negotiations get tense

Sellers sometimes insist on the buyer raising their offer to accommodate buyer-side fees — or buyers push back when seller fund arrangements are unclear. Earlier BAC visibility gives both sides a shared starting point before emotions run high at the offer table.
