A bonus is a great idea but it should go to the buying agent rather than the seller. If you indicate in the MLS that you are willing to pay an extra 1% or even a half percent more to the buying agent, you are providing more incentive to get your house shown. Buying agents steer potential buyers to homes where they can make the most profit while meeting all the customer's needs. I don't know if you can specify a cash bonus in the MLS but I do know the listings show what percentages are paid to buyer and seller agents.
