FAQ
Do buyer's agents work on LandXchange?
Buyers are welcome to bring their own agent. LandXchange is not a multiple-listing service (MLS) — we do not split commissions, do not advertise buyer-agent compensation, and do not pay buy-side commissions out of seller proceeds.
Can a buyer use a real estate agent on LandXchange?
Yes. Any buyer is free to engage their own agent. The buyer pays their own agent, separately from the LandXchange transaction. Sellers do not owe a buyer-side commission.
Why does LandXchange not pay buyer-side commissions?
We are a marketplace technology platform, not a real estate brokerage. Marketplaces (Etsy, eBay, Airbnb) do not pay commissions to anyone's agent — they connect buyers and sellers directly. LandXchange operates on the same principle.
How does the buyer-agent get paid then?
Buyer agents typically charge a flat hourly fee, a flat transaction fee, or a percentage paid by the buyer at closing. The buyer and their agent negotiate this directly and document it in their representation agreement. None of it flows through LandXchange.
