Although percentages are usually set by the market, this transaction largely depends on the agent and the agent's broker, if applicable. In most real estate deals, the percentage is split between four different people including:

  • the listing agent
  • their managing broker
  • the buyers agent
  • and their managing broker

According to Realtor.com, "The broker determines how its own agents will be compensated. Agents are usually compensated on what is called a "commission split," meaning that a broker will get a percentage of the commissions that an agent brings in the door. Traditionally, brokers charge 6 percent, although 5 percent is also common. Agents then receive a portion of the commission from their broker." The percentage is usually between 1 and 2 percent.
