Real estate agents in Vermont: what buyers ask
Who pays the real estate agent in Vermont?
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 Vermont?
Vermont does not require one general property-condition form. Under 27 V.S.A. 380 a seller must give the buyer flood-map and flood-history information before or with the contract, and a seller with a private well must hand over Department of Health water materials within 72 hours of signing (27 V.S.A. 616).
