Who is the principal for whom a real estate broker works?

A real estate broker has only one fiduciary duty and that is to his or her client, also known as the principal. Real estate agents act as the broker's representatives -- always. In every part of a real estate transaction, he or she is the broker's agent. Therefore, despite the fact that the agent may have procured the client, he or she did so as the broker's representative. Therefore, the only principal for whom a broker works is the client -- the home buyer or seller.

Who gets the commission for a multiple listing?

In a multiple listing service (MLS), the commission is typically shared between the listing agent and the buyer's agent. When a property is sold, the total commission agreed upon by the seller is divided, with a portion going to the listing agent for marketing and selling the property, and the other portion going to the buyer's agent for bringing a buyer to the transaction. The exact split can vary based on agreements and local practices. Ultimately, the seller pays the commission, which is then allocated to the agents involved.
