How Do Real Estate Agents Get Paid?
How do realtors get paid?💰
In Virginia, home sellers pay real estate commission fees from the proceeds of their house for both agents involved in a deal. Offering to pay for the buyer’s agent’s commission is an incentive for agents to show your listing to their clients.
These two agents typically split the total commission — so for a 6 percent commission, the selling agent would receive 3 percent, and the buying agent would receive the other 3 percent.
