In these parts, seven percent commission.

Half to seller’s agency.
Half to buyer’s agency.

Agencies typically split 50/50 agency/agent.

So each agent ends up with 1 1/2%.

Your home page says you are in Pennsylvania. That 7% was common where I lived near Albany, NY.

In the DC area, the rate was about 6% in the early 1990s.

I would probably refuse to pay more than 3% here in booming Florida. Things are slowing some so it might be 4% in the future.

“Agencies typically split 50/50 agency/agent.”

I’ve never thought that was justified.

So, 10% to the big guy?
1 1/2% x 4 = 6%

50% to the broker. Wow. I’m in the wrong area. we get 20-10 based on the experience of the agent and how long they have been with us. Need more training we take 20%, less 10. we don;t jhave an office. Work out of home and car.
