Stanley Martin Homes, LLC (“Stanley Martin”) values working with real estate agents.

Stanley Martin will pay compensation to a homebuyer’s real estate agent (“Agent”) if the following conditions are met:

1. Stanley Martin’s Broker Registration form must be completed in its entirety, with homebuyer and Agent’s signature and date, within 24 hours of the initial meeting. The Broker Registration is only good for a period of 30 days. Agent is responsible for re-registering every 30 days until a contract is signed with homebuyer.
2. Agent must hold an active real estate license in the jurisdiction where the home is located.
3. If homebuyer has registered in the neighborhood within 90 days prior to the date of the contract without identifying a real estate agent, Stanley Martin will not pay an agent compensation.
4. Agent must have an agreement with homebuyer regarding agent’s representation (addressing scope, term, and compensation).
5. Agent must be the procuring cause for the sale. To be the procuring cause, Agent must introduce homebuyer to Stanley Martin, participate in the initial appointment, and be an active part of the contracting process. No phone registrations will be accepted.
6. The compensation amount will be reflected in the Broker Registration form and in the sales contract. If there is any inconsistency between the two, the amount set out in the sales contract will prevail.
7. Homebuyer is responsible for the compensation arrangement established in homebuyer’s agreement with Agent. This may include paying the difference if the compensation offered by Stanley Martin is lower than what homebuyer agreed with Agent. The compensation to be paid by Stanley Martin to Agent may be limited (reduced) if it exceeds what Agent has agreed to accept in homebuyer’s agreement with Agent.
8. The sales contract will be prepared by Stanley Martin on Stanley Martin’s form. Stanley Martin’s payment of compensation to Agent is subject to the terms and conditions of the sales contract, will be paid upon completion of closing of the sale, and will be paid to Agent’s brokerage firm rather than the individual agent.
9. Agent agrees that Stanley Martin representatives may communicate directly with homebuyer at any time without first contacting Agent.
10. Stanley Martin will pay compensation to only one real estate agent per sale. If a dispute arises between agents as to representation of the homebuyer, Stanley Martin will withhold payment until the matter is resolved, paying compensation as directed by the findings of an arbitrator or court or as required by a settlement of the dispute.
