REAL ESTATE BROKER
An example of Broker’s are these guys from the TV Show Million Dollar Listing.
Real estate agents and broker get paid through a commission. The property that they are selling is sold for a
certain amount of money which is then taken and 7% is used for commission for the Real estate/broker’s pay.
Broker’s can shuffle how much they want to have as far as commission goes. An example of this would be Homeowners
ask agent Mary to sell their house for $200,000. Mary works at Superlist Brokerage. There is agreement on 7 percent commission. Frank, a selling agent at Bigbuy
Brokerage, brings his clients to see the house and they purchase it for the asking price. The total commission will be $14,000, taken out of the sales price at the closing. In
this case it is divided evenly between Superlist and Bigbuy. Mary, a highly successful agent for Superlist, receives 75 percent of the brokerage's $7,000 commission, or $5,250. Frank, a beginning agent, receives 30 percent of Bigbuy's
$7,000 commission, or $2,100.
HOW THEY GET PAID
Most states do not require a college degree to get a real estate license. You just do a class and then take a state
exam. In my home state, the initial class in a 75 classroom hour program, which will get you a provisional broker's
license (assuming you pass the state exam). After that, you take three 30 hour courses to graduate to a full broker's
license.
