HOW REALTORS GET PAID
There is often a great deal of confusion regarding how
Realtors® are paid. Yes, we are paid a commission, but
there are some aspects you probably don't realize.
When you find a home or property on our site, for us
to get paid, we need to be involved when you see the
property and when you write the offer. There are 10,000+
properties listed on our site for your convenience. We work
hard to give you the information you need to make a good
choice. Please remember that there are people who created
this site and who work in the office and in the field to
provide this information, answer your questions and show you
homes. When you're ready to see a home, please call US
at 305-407-3547
Agents are generally independent contractors, not
employees. There's no salary involved and no regular
pay-day. As independent contractors, each agent must pay
self-employment taxes, their own medical insurance, errors
and omissions insurance, licensure fees, access fees for the
MLS (multiple listing service) as well as their own business
expenses - mobile telephone, mileage, etc.
We work on a contingency basis - we are only paid if
and when a deal closes. So if a buyer's financing falls
through or there's a problem with the title and the sale
doesn't close, the agent isn't paid... period. Because of
that, we are very committed to working with you and making
your transaction a successful one.
We have a fiduciary duty to you. That means if
it's not in your best interest to buy or sell, we'll advise
you to walk away - that means we don't get paid. Now that's
commitment! Accordingly, we ask you to be willing to commit
to us. Sometimes it's not a 'good fit' and we'll both move
on in those rare instances because we need to be able to
work as a team. But once we meet and start working for you,
please stick with us.
You likely also know that the commission is most often
paid by the seller of the property. But did you know that
commission is shared by a number of people? First, the
listing broker gets paid - that's the company whose name is
on the listing. If the buyer is represented, the listing
broker pays a 'co-broker' commission - that's the 'carrot'
for agents to sell each others' listing on the MLS.
Each broker - the listing broker and the buyers' broker -
pay their agents a share. By the time all these 'splits' are
done, your agent will typically receive only 20-25% of the
total commission.
Why should you use a Realtor®? Not all licensed
real estate agents & brokers are Realtors®. To use the
registered trademark Realtor® an agent must be a member of
the National
Association of Realtors®. All of the licensed
professionals at Florida are Realtors® and as
such must follow the strict
Code of Ethics set forth by the National Association of
Realtors®.
The purchase of your home is likely one of the most
important financial decisions and transactions in your life.
And each subsequent sale and purchase is typically larger
than the one before. The average home in the Florida area
costs $265,000. If you had an income tax issue for even half
that, would you hire a tax professional? If you had a legal
issue of $90,000 would you hire an attorney or handle it
yourself? Considering the small cost to you (and if you're a
buyer, there is typically no cost) and the tremendous risk
it would be foolish not to use a professional Realtor®.
