What Is the Realtor Commission in Dunedin, FL? (2026)
On realtor commission in Dunedin: The real estate commission in Dunedin, FL has two components: (1) the listing-side commission (2.5–3%), paid to your listing agent, and (2) the buyer-agent commission (2–2.5%), paid to the buyer's agent at closing.

How the 2024 NAR settlement changed Dunedin commissions

Dunedin sellers can now offer $0 buyer-agent commission, or any amount they choose. In practice, most Dunedin sellers continue to offer 2–2.5% because buyer agents are less likely to show homes without compensation. The NAR settlement eliminated the mandate but not the market practice.
