The SELLER usually pays all the commissions. The buyer's agent usually gets a split of the realestate contracted commission. If the deal calls for a 4% commission, the listing agents gets 2% and the buyer's agent 2%. If you are sellinga home, you would usually pay the buyer's agent some agreed upon amount.

How much do i have to pay a real estate agent for finding me a home?

In most states, if not all, the realtor is paid by the seller when the house is sold. The buyer pays closing costs on the home but the seller pays the realtor. Keep that in mind as you are shopping for a house. As you spend time with the realtor you begin to develope a bond but remember, since the seller pays the realtor, the realtor is actually working for the seller. Also, try not to look at more than 6 homes in one day and make notes about likes and dislikes on each home you visit. If you don't, you'll find yourself trying to remember one house from another later that night.

Typically the commission is paid by the seller, which the buyer's agent & seller's agent split in half. If you are paying the agent a commission, he or she is getting paid twice. If I were you, I would look for another agent that will accept the commission that is being paid by the seller.


How much money does a real estate agent make for each house they sell?

In most cases, they make a percentage of the sale price (called a commission), and that percentage varies. Usually, both the buyer and the seller have an agent, and both get a commission. If the same agent represents both buyer and seller, he gets a double commission. You should call individual real estate firms to find out how much commission they give their agents.

If a real eastate agent shows you houses for a long time and then you find a for sale by owner should you still pay the real estate agent and how much?

From a legal standpoint, it will depend on whether you signed a Buyer Agency Agreement and what its terms are. In general, though, it's up to your conscience or, if you prefer, sense of fair play. A Buyer Agent doesn't have to show you a house that you want to buy. He/she simply hopes/expects that you'll get him/her to prepare, present, and negotiate an offer on your behalf.
