Real estate agents in Arkansas: what buyers ask
Who pays the real estate agent in Arkansas?
Commissions are negotiable and not set by law. Since August 17, 2024, offers of compensation are banned from the MLS and buyers sign a written agreement first.
What must a seller disclose in Arkansas?
Arkansas has no disclosure statute for individual owner-sellers, according to the Arkansas Real Estate Commission, so no state law requires a seller to deliver a condition report. Licensed agents must disclose material facts they know or should know (Ark. Code 17-42-316).
