There is no standard "set" rate of commissions, they are set buy the broker based upon their cost to do business and receive a reasonable profit, failing which will cause any broker- or business to cease operations. \n\nFor outside brokers to discuss commissions is not smart, such can be, and has been construed as colusion on setting commissions which clearly violates the Sherman anti-trust act.\n\nTo get your specific  desired reply, contact an Assit to Sell brokerage firm direct. \n\nRegarding any real estate firm that promises to save money with discount services, a word of caution: be careful that you read all their contract, know what services you are paying for and expect to receive. Many people are rudely awakend to less than they thought they had contracted for and end up paying full commissions and being unhappy with what they bought. As with any cut rate firm, be ready to work yourself.\n\nIn the real world and the business world there are no free lunches, somebody always pays. If you set aside money  to cover the cost when the cheaper item fails- and it is likely to fail, then you could have paid for the higher quality item or service up front and been done with it, saving time and money.\n\nIn a slowing real estate market, if you intend to sell, you will need all the edge you can get to stay on top of the market and have a successful sale.\n\nPlease consider the potential for failure, prepare well for it and act accordingly. Good luck.

Commission is negotiable. You'll find realtors willing to take a 2% listing and others taking a 10% (that's typically on high-end, harder to sell homes that require costly marketing techniques). 4-7% is most typical, though.

Lawyers are the one profession that can receive referral fees from Realtors.  The real estate contract is a legal document, which means lawyers can receive compensation for them.

Call a realestate agent. Often they are the brokers for such deals.

The above answer is not realistic.\n\nBelow is an exert from the Federal job outlook you can view the entire page below.  Please be aware that most real estate agents are paid by comission and run thier own business.  How much money an agent makes depends greatly on his or her work ethic, and sales skill &#92;\n\nPer the US governement\n\n\nThe median annual earnings of salaried real estate sales agents, including commissions, were $35,670 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $23,500 and $58,110 a year. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $17,600, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $92,770. Median hourly earnings in the industries employing the largest number of real estate sales agents in May 2004 were as follows:\n\nResidential building construction $54,770 \nOffices of real estate agents and brokers 37,970 \nActivities related to real estate 32,460 \nLessors of real estate 25,840 \n\nMedian annual earnings of salaried real estate brokers, including commission, were $58,720 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $33,480 and $99,820 a year. Median annual earning of real estate brokers were $61,550 in offices of real estate agents and brokers and $44,920 in activities related to real estate.\n\nCommissions on sales are the main source of earnings of real estate agents and brokers. The rate of commission varies according to whatever the agent and broker agree on, the type of property, and its value. The percentage paid on the sale of farm and commercial properties or unimproved land is typically higher than the percentage paid for selling a home.\n\nCommissions may be divided among several agents and brokers. When the property is sold, the broker or agent who obtained the listing usually shares the commission with the broker or agent who made the sale and with the firm that employs each of them. Although an agent’s share varies greatly from one firm to another, often it is about half of the total amount received by the firm. Agents who both list and sell a property maximize their commission.\n\nIncome usually increases as an agent gains experience, but individual motivation, economic conditions, and the type and location of the property also affect earnings. Sales workers who are active in community organizations and in local real estate associations can broaden their contacts and increase their earnings. A beginner’s earnings often are irregular, because a few weeks or even months may go by without a sale. Although some brokers allow an agent to draw against future earnings from a special account, the practice is not common with new employees. The beginner, therefore, should have enough money to live for about 6 months or until commissions increase.

you didn't mention the state, but usually if the seller has an agent, the seller pays the full commission to the agent even if they buyers don't use an agent.  the listing (seller's) agent will split commissions with a selling (buyer's ) agent, but won't split commissions with a buyer who doesn't have an agent and probably can't split commissions with an unlicensed person. \n\ngood luck!

That depends on their contract with the broker. Each office is different. Talk to many office brokers and ask to see their contract. While you are at the office, note how busy they are. Be sure to ask what your commission split will be when you start and at what level does it change. Also many offices now offer a salary + commission program. This might be best to start out. Most real estate agents work for less than $15 / hr.. You have to build your business to increase your income.

Heck i would like to find a complete list of all that is for sale. They have so many MLS and there are many that are not even listed, it relay shorts the market and drive up prices giving the impression that the is no supply, yet they have record sales, excuse me how can you sell something you do not have. Any ways this is how they made the bubble that is now breaking.\nGood luck in find a list much less a complete list, little do they the Realtors know they are a big part of driving business out of CA.

I'm afraid not.  Real Estate agent is not considered a small business.  Now if you owned the realty office, then they could.

real estate agent.  easy to enter the business, you just need to get the RE license, flexible working hours.  the only problem is you'll get pay only when you make a deal, but if you can make a deal the commission can be as much as a several thousand dollars.

a good realtor can help u get about 16% more for your home than u could get when selling on your own according to the president of the national association of realtors.\n\nThe best resource is a highly-qualified Realtor, if you want to sell for top dollar.

yes you can, discuss it with whatever real estate broker has the listing for your property or hire your own broker to deal with them

The biggest real estate agent in NY City!\n\nIt is assumed that this saying comes from New York City (where real estate values are high). The saying was popular in the home selling business in the 1950s and probably comes from a non-New York realtor.\n\nhttp://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/new_york_city/entry/location_location_location/
