If I'm purchasing a house for 25000 how much do i pay my realtor?

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.


What are real estate agents paid?

They are paid an agreed upon commission as per the listing contract between the agent and the seller. Buyers and seller are often charged administrative or processing fees to be paid to the brokerage office of their realtor. Real Estate agents are paid a percentage of the commission they collect based on whatever contract they have with the real estate brokerage that employs them.

How much does a realitor make?

A Realtor is paid a percentage of the sale of the property. Each Realtor can charge a different commission and it depends on the amount the property sales for how much they receive. However, there is a Realtor on each side of the transaction, one for the buyer and one for the seller unless the listing agent is doing both side. Even if one Realtor did both sides they would not receive the total commission unless they were the broker for the realty company itself. So a Realtor may only receive a small portion of the commission depending on how many parties are involved in the transaction. Overall a Realtor makes a percentage of the total amount of house they sell in a year. Example if they sell a $100K house and the percentage is set at 7% as a general rule the listing agent would get 3.5% and the buyers agent would get 3.5 percent. Then the Realtors 3.5% is further divided by whatever % the broker gets and what remains is what the Realtor gets. As most Realtors are independent agents all of their expenses and taxes must come out of the percentage that is left over.
