How Are Realtors Paid?

Most Realtors work solely on commission, with no retainer or stipend from either their clients or their Broker. They receive a percentage of the commission fee that is paid to the Broker by the seller when the home goes to settlement. The percentage the agent receives from their Broker varies from agent to agent and broker to broker.

For example, if a listing broker charges you 6% or 7% to sell your house, they may offer half that fee to a selling broker through the MLS, retaining the other half (see table below). How does Home Selling Assistance Experts differ? Depending upon which of our programs you choose, we will offer a competitive percentage of our total fee to the selling broker. So even though you pay less, there is just as great an incentive for other Realtors to show your home as if you were paying a 6% or 7% fee.

Remember that most Realtors work on commission, so the more a seller offers the selling broker, the more incentive agents have to show your home.
