Terms & Conditions (The “Fine Print”)

Transparency is our policy. Here is exactly how our partnership works.

1. Buyer Agent Compensation (Important Market Update) Per recent industry regulations (NAR Settlement), the commissions listed above (0.5%, 1%, 1.75%) cover Maison Pawli’s listing services only.

• You are not required to pay a buyer’s agent, but offering a concession can attract more buyers.
• Recommendation: We advise discussing a strategy to offer “Seller Concessions” or specific compensation to buyer’s agents to ensure your home remains competitive against other Long Island listings. We will strategize this number with you before listing.

2. Dual Agency & Unrepresented Buyers If a buyer comes to us directly (without an agent) and asks us to write the offer for them:

• Packages 1 & 2: A flat administrative fee of 1% is added to the total commission to cover the legal liability of managing both sides of the transaction.
• Package 3: No additional fee.

3. The $500 Setup Fee (Package 1 Only) The $500 fee for the “Smart Seller” package covers the administrative cost of MLS data entry, compliance verification, and initial marketing setup. This fee is earned upon activation of the listing and is non-refundable, regardless of whether the property sells.

4. Photography Standards

• Package 1: Seller-provided photos must meet MLS resolution standards. Maison Pawli reserves the right to reject photos that are blurry, dark, or do not represent the property accurately (bad photos hurt your sale price!).
• Packages 2 & 3: We retain the copyright to all professional photos we produce.

5. Fair Housing Maison Pawli adheres strictly to Federal and New York State Fair Housing Laws. We will not honor any instruction to show or not show a home based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin.
