Listing Brokers (LBs) are subcontracted by the Asset Managers and are responsible for listing the property in the local MLS and provide assistance to realtors with access to the property and with sales information.  Selling brokers are limited to a maximum of 3% of the purchase price for their commission. A selling broker commission of less than 3% can be entered when submitting an offer. Upon submission of a bid, the selling broker enters the actual commission they wish to be paid on the commission line of the HUD sales contract; (line 6a). HUD’s software is set up to automatically calculate any commissions to be paid to the listing broker. On certain predetermined “hard-to-sell” properties, a flat fee commission of $2,500 ($1,250 each) will be offered.
