As a realtor you have to be aware of the importance of the real estate agent commission split to your income potential and while the options vary from broker to broker you certainly want to strive for a full commission split with no strings attached. This is how top agents make more money. Have you ever heard of a real estate superstar who leaves 30% or 50% of the money to the real estate broker? I haven’t and you probably haven’t encountered that either. So let’s try to dissect what is behind that arrangement allowing broker to take percentage of your income from each and every transaction.

The Story Behind The Real Estate Commission Splits

By law every agent has to operate under the real estate broker to ensure accountability for real estate transactions. If you happened to be a seasoned real estate agent you may want to take real estate broker courses and pass the exam which will allow you to operate independently. Until then you must operate under the umbrella of the particular real estate broker.

Because such arrangement exists, it is broker’s responsibility to ensure that each real estate transaction is conducted properly in accordance with all laws and regulations, and as we know there are quite a few, and all the paperwork is flawless. That also entails the fact that real estate broker takes the time to check all the paperwork, participate in its processing and provide an agent with documentation, support and advice and even encouragement which may include pep talk if need be. Also, brokers provide with office, staplers, water cooler and many other essentials that frankly most real estate agents can do without. All this doesn’t come free and broker has to cover his real estate operations overhead. We should point out that most brokers don’t fiddle with paperwork all day and most of it done by the staff which adds to overhead. Anyway you flip it, real estate broker has to cover all the expenses and that is why real estate agent commission split is necessary to maintain the healthy balance between real estate agent and a broker.

Are Real Estate Compensation Splits Fair?

That is a good question if we take in consideration the fact that no one asks a real estate agent how much of real estate commission split he or she would like to have when they start working. Usually it comes as a package although some brokers have option A and option B where both options at the end of the month end up being the same. Well, it is fair considering the fact that you always can go across the street and work for a competitor. That keeps things in balance except for the fact that if you are working on 50% commission split with broker Bob, broker Janette is not going to give you 100% because she also has her overhead to pay for.

But wait a second! There are some real estate agents out there, you know the local real estate kings and queens who are getting paid full commission split and they will get that split grade everywhere they go! Are we talking discrimination here? Not at all. These agents happen to sell a lot of real estate. Their brokers are very fortunate to have such elite working with them. Read the next paragraph and you will learn why.

Their abilities and experience is an asset to any broker because they bring more clients, more sales and more commissions. In real estate people who sell more also keep more not just in volume but on each and every transaction. They deserve it.

Real estate brokers charge superstar agents broker fees office fees and may be some other fees but they give up 100% commission to their best agents. And if they don’t that competition across the street will. This simple free market rule has been proven to work very well for both brokers and agents.
