What is broker/agent commission?

Real estate agent commission is a percentage of the real estate transaction amount. A standard commission percentage of a transaction in California is 6%. They split this 6% with their brokerage and the other real estate agent associated with the transaction.

Most real estate agents make money through commissions that are paid directly to brokers when transactions are settled. A single commission is often split multiple ways among the listing agent, the listing broker, the buyer’s agent, and the buyer’s agent’s broker.

In California, it ranges anywhere from 1-6% of the sales price. The standard is 5-6%, but for high-priced properties (i.e. $1+ million) the commission may be more like 4-5%. Finally, the commission split between agent and broker. The broker will receive the proceeds from a sale, then pay the agent their cut.
