Study Notes

Commissions

Fees earned by agents when helping clients buy or sell properties
Calculation: usually a percentage of the sale price, varies based on market, property type, and agreement between agents and brokers

Commission Formulas

Total commission = Sale price x Commission rate
Co-brokerage split = Total commission x Co-brokerage percent
Agent split = Co-brokerage split x Agent percent
Broker split = Co-brokerage split - Agent split

Example

A $300,000 property sells at a 7% commission with a 50-50 co-brokerage split and a 60% agent split with her broker
Total commission = $300,000 x 0.07 = $21,000
Co-brokerage split = $21,000 x 0.50 = $10,500
Agent split = $10,500 x 0.60 = $6,300
Broker split = $10,500 - $6,300 = $4,200

Seller's Net

The amount of money the seller receives after selling a property
Calculation: Sale Price - (sale price x commission) - Other closing costs - Loan balance
Formula: Seller’s net = Sale Price - (sale price x commission) - Other closing costs - Loan balance

Example

Property sold for $300,000 with a mortgage balance of $220,000, commission rate of 6%, and other closing costs of $3,000
Result: Seller’s net = ($300,000 - (300,000 x 0.06) - 3,000 - 220,000) = $48,000

Calculation of Sale Price

Formula: Sale Price = (Desired net + Closing costs + Loan payoff) / (1 - Commission rate)
Explanation: The formula takes the desired net amount and adds the closing costs and the loan payoff, which are the expenses that the seller has to pay when selling the property.
