How much do estate agents earn?

This amount may vary in places, but the total comission is usually 6% of the sale price of the house. There are also other variables involved. For example, let's say there is a listing agent (the real estate agent who listed the property), a selling agent (the real estate agent who sold the property) and the broker under whom both agents work. In this case, the listing agent would get 2% of the total sale price, as would the selling agent and the broker. If the listing agent and selling agent are the same person, they would received 4% comission, and the broker 2% of the sales price. If the broker is also the listing and selling agent, then s/he gets the full 6% comission.

Do you have to pay a commission if your agent sell your home to another agent they both want a commission?

The total commission amount should be in the listing agreement. If your listing agent has agreed to sell your home for 6% and another agent decides to buy it, your listing agent is responsible for paying that agent's commission out of the 6% commission you have agreed to pay them for procuring a buyer. They are not allowed to unilaterally demand a separate commission for the other agent. If they try to force you to pay extra commission above the original amount you agreed to pay you should contact that agent's broker in charge. If you do not get satisfaction from the broker in charge then contact your state's Real Estate Commission and complain long and loudly.
