How much do real estate agents get paid.?
Most real estate agents are paid by commission, and only get paid once a property sells. A seller offers a commission on a house, which technically all goes to the listing broker, and then the listing broker offers to share it with any agent who brings in a buyer. In most states, real estate agents have to work under a Broker, and they split their commissions with the Broker, so the total commission is split 4 ways – the listing broker, the listing agent, the selling broker and the selling agent.
