Simple answer: The commission and when it has been earned will be spelled out in the contract between the agent and the party that is agreeing to pay a commission. Read the contract. The contract takes precedence over market practice. Market Practice: In most US states, commission is PAID at the closing or settlement. It is EARNED from the initial meeting with the buyer &/or seller for the specific transaction through to the day of closing/settlement, although there is no guarantee of payment until closing/settlement. In other words, the real estate professional works in good faith for the client with no payment for their work until the transaction closes/settles. There are circumstances where the parties to a transaction are bound by agreements that stipulate payment, under the terms of the agreement, to the real estate professional regardless and sometimes in spite of settlement/closing taking place (or not taking place).
