that's a commission
A real estate broker can waive a commission at will.
In a simple scenario where the broker charges the commission as a percentage of the purchase price, then you would simply multiply the purchase price by the commission rate. For example, if your home sold for $100,000, and your broker charges a 7% commission, then you would calculate as follows:100,000 x .07 = 7,000These days there a lots of other possibilities, such as flat-fee brokers who charge a set rate regardless of purchase price.As a broker for 15+ years I have personally been involved in various transaction fee structured deals, but the majority are the first type I explained.
Officially the seller pays the broker commission. However, ultimately it is paid by the buyer, since the commission is related to the selling price.
The broker would be given a commission that is agreed to by the parties during the leasing negotiations. If no amount was agreed to, then the broker would be compensated on a quantum meruit basis, which would be a typical commission based on the nature of the transaction and the commissions charged by other firms.
