Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

[@StocksWolf752]

If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

[@EleanorBaker474]

Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

Real estate agents DO NOT get the entire commission... it's split with the Brokerage company you work for and it depends on what you can negotiate with your company

[@beck___]

Unless you work for Homesmart, then you pay a very small fee and keep your entire commission 😃

[@Southern.Nappiness]

I was thinking that too.

[@dylang8176]

commission rate is usually 6%, 3% goes to the agent and the other 3% goes to the broker

[@NCRRanger16]

Can you become your own broker and keep everything?

[@georgepipito2802]

@@dylang8176 that’s not true. Yes commission is 6%… 3% goes to the seller brokerage and 3% goes to the buyers brokerage. Then the 3% is divided by how you negotiate with your broker. So it might be a 70%-30% split

[@andrewwolf4963]

⚠️ ⚠️ It depends if you have a large sphere of influence and can work for a company where you pay no fees, and have a 90-100% split or if you are on a team and get leads because you can’t survive on your own, so you make 30-60% of your commission. Most new agents need a team because they don’t have a built in sphere of people ready to buy 15+ properties a year from them. So you can expect to make roughly 40k to 70k a year by your second and third year depending on which avenue you take. As an agent on a team you probably would make 3-5k per transaction depending on where you live and how much homes cost. But say you average 400k homes, you sell 10 and do 4 million in volume. That’s likely a slightly just slightly below average agent on a team and they would probably make somewhere around 45-70k for that amount of production. I average around 25 sales a year for my team and I make 115-160k a year doing around 10-13 million in volume. If I did that on my own with a great split I would make around 250-325k a year. But I do not have the repeat clients and the sphere or network to keep myself afloat yet. I’m getting there though!!

Commercial RE is even more sporadic in commissions. Been in it since late 2019 specializing in Industrial assets. 1st year I was a tenant rep, built my pipeline, and closed 7 deals. Made 85k after splits with 3.2mil in transaction volume. 2nd year moved to listings and only closed 4 deals but made 178k after splits from 16.6 in volume. This year I've closed 8.3 so far and made 116k after splits. Residential can do so much more volume than us, but we don't have to work weekends or lose a deal over counter tops :). On the flip side, having no emotional attachment leads to quick and unexpected losses, like 10mil (or 140k in income) in a week :(. Avg CRE agent makes 80-150k a year. Top 10% of earners will do 7 figures +.

Now consider that RE Agents are independent contractors. As such they only get paid if they close a deal. The brokerage house they are required to work in partnership with get's a cut so, the net commission he receives might be roughly 70% of the total (might be less for newbies). After that he has to consider taxes, which do not get deducted from his commissions so put aside roughly 30% for that. The point is, the commissions he showed are subject to deductions before he gets his net commission. It's a tough business and since there is no salary, sick days, holiday pay, vacation pay and you work until you actually get paid anything, it is not a business for those who think it all come to you magically. You really have to work hard for every dime. Statistically, 70% of all newly licensed agents will quit within 90 days never to return because they have not closed even one deal.

Preferred commission rates are determined by brokers individually but legally they are always negotiable based on the work being done by the agent/brokerage. Standard rates are not allowed, therefore maintaining a competitive environment and avoid price fixing.

[@unknowninformant6730]

You’re correct, he also he omitted whether it was after tax or before tax. The amount he made in one month is not really accurate because settlement days for individual transactions can vary from 30 -60 -90 or 100 + days and therefore commissions aren’t payable until settlement takes place
