Lake Hopatcong Homes Real Estate Commissions
Real estate agents are paid on a commission basis after a successful conclusion of a real estate transaction. Real estate commissions are a negotiated percentage of the sales price of a home paid to the agents of the buyer and seller.
Some brokers in the business charge as high as 10%. Others offer discounted commissions, some as low as 2%. However, the norm is 6%. But as the old adage goes: you get what you pay for, there is no free lunch in this world. Marketing, MLS Listings, advertising in magazines and papers cost money, besides the added incentive for networking goes a long way.
How real estate commissions are divided
Using an example of 6% total commission:
- 3% Listing Commission is to be divided between the listing agent and his/her broker usually at a 50:50 basis. This means the broker gets 1 1/2% and the listing agent gets 1 1/2%.
- 3% Selling Commission is to be divided between the selling agent and his/her broker again at a 50:50 basis. Here again, the broker gets 1 1/2% and the selling agent gets 1 1/2%.
- 3% Listing Commission + 3% Selling Commission = 6% Total Commission
The fact of life is that below a 5% commission, very little promotion is done. Most full-service brokers will charge a 6% commission, the generally accepted industry norm.
If you are buying or selling a home, we are dealing with what is usually a families largest individual asset, getting an independent real estate appraisal which generally ranges from about $125 - $300 dollars is suggested. That way you are not only relying on the multiple listing search resources which doesn't take into account the differences in time value of previous sold listings as well as other valuation considerations. This way your have a realistic picture of what your property is worth in the open market at the time the appraisal is made.
