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.

Do i need a home inspection to buy a house?
If you buy the house outright yourself then no you do not need a home inspection..If you are going to finance the house your lender may require a home inspection to protect their investment.... Regardless of whether you are required to or not,it is still sound advice to have a home inspection done before you buy the house, even if the seller/realitor has already had a home inspection done,you still need to hire your own professional and have it done again,because those doing the inspection for the seller/realitor are looking out for them not you....
