• Landlord-Hired Brokers: If a landlord hires a broker to list, market, or show their apartment, the landlord is responsible for paying that broker’s fee. Landlords can no longer require tenants to pay a broker fee as a condition of signing a lease.
• Tenant-Hired Brokers: A tenant is only responsible for paying a broker fee if they independently hire a broker to act exclusively on their behalf to find an apartment.
• No Dual Fees: A broker cannot collect a fee from both a landlord and a tenant for the same transaction, and they cannot represent both parties if they are collecting fees from both.
• Advertising Restrictions: Real estate agents are prohibited from advertising rental listings that state “tenant to pay broker fee” if they were hired by the landlord.

• Leases Signed Before August 1, 2025: The law is not retroactive. If you signed a lease before this date that included a broker fee, you may still be legally required to pay it.
• Indirect Costs: While landlords cannot charge an upfront broker fee, they are permitted to increase the monthly rent to recoup the cost of paying the broker.
• Reporting Violations: If a landlord or broker attempts to force you to pay a fee for a broker you did not hire, you can file a complaint with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office or the Division of Occupational Licensure.

Ford Realty Menu of Flat Fee Listings for Boston and the North Shore

As a home seller, it sounds like you have a solid grasp of the current 2026 landscape for flat-fee listings in the Boston and North Shore areas. Here is a concise breakdown of how those Ford Realty tiers typically function based on the service levels you’ve identified:

1. Basic “Entry Only” – $500.00

• Visibility: Your home is listed on the local MLS, which syndicates to Zillow, Realtor.com, and local brokerage sites.
• Your Role: You are the primary point of contact. You handle photography, scheduling all showings, vetting buyers, and all contract negotiations.
• Best for: Experienced sellers or those comfortable managing real estate paperwork and logistics independently. 

2. Flat Fee (Assisted) – Starting at $1,500.00

• The Upgrade: The broker takes professional photos and handles the listing setup.
• Added Support: You gain professional guidance for the initial setup, ensuring the listing looks polished to attract higher-quality leads.
• Broker Role: 60-day listing, one open house per month, schedule day and evening showings. The negative is that the full fee is due after 60 days even if the house/condo doesn’t sell or go under agreement.

3. Full-Service – 1% Commission 

• The Full Package: Professional photography and floor plans are included.
• Active Management: The broker hosts one open house per month and handles day/evening showings.
• Logistics: They are physically present for the BFD smoke detector inspection and the home inspection, taking significant stress off your plate. 

Key Financial Reminders

• Buyer’s Side: Regardless of your flat fee, remember to factor in the 2%–3% commission for the buyer’s agent to keep your home competitive.
• Tax/Closing: Budget for the MA transfer tax ($4.56 per $1,000) and ensure all Condo fees are cleared to avoid delays at closing. 

BUYERS REBATE

Boston and North Shore Buyers: We provide a 55% rebate of our commission to you, as the buyer, for homes priced over 500,000.
