Adding Buyer Agent Compensation on Your Lofty Website

Introduction


The buyer's agent fee is the commission fee that the real estate brokerage that represents the buyer is paid as compensation for completing the transaction. Historically, the buyer's agent fee was paid by the seller, however this is changing due to the NAR settlement.


Note: When the Buyer Compensation field is added, it will be visible on your IDX website. This information will not be added to other websites or to the MLS, it will only be visible on IDX websites on your Lofty account. This field will be removed if the listing is sold. Please be aware of your MLS requirements.

Introduction


The Buyer's Agent Compensation field can only be added to My Listings or Team Listings. To add to one of your listings, navigate to the "Listings" page and select Add Buyer Compensation from the Actions menu.

To add to one of your Team Listings, navigate to the "Listings" page and add via the ... menu.

After selecting Add Buyer Compensation, the information is added in a pop-up box:

Compensation Label


The Compensation Label is the field label that is shone on the listing page on your IDX website. By default, the field is called "Buyer Agency Compensation".

Guide Real Estate, Largest employers in Sacramento area Ranked #237 (of 382 companies)

July 3, 2026
The Sacramento Business Journal’s list of employers includes more than 380 businesses, nonprofits and government organizations that collectively employ more than 360,000 people locally — and millions more across the nation and world. Think of it as a census of the entities that power the workforce in Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties. The online version of this ranking goes beyond what appears in print, featuring more than 300 additional organizations in our digital database, in addition to the 38 highlighted in this week’s print edition. This week's List continues a shift in our research methodology and philosophy, one that emphasizes more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 40-plus sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. This effort identified thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ's footprint — last year alone. Information for The List was gathered through SBJ’s own research and from employer questionnaires that SBJ could not independently verify. In case of ties, organizations are ranked by total employment, then listed alphabetically if ties remain. For information about this and other SBJ Lists, contact Data Reporter Mengyuan Dong at mdong@bizjournals.com or 916-558-7876. SOURCE: Sacramento Business Journal
