What type of commissions do real estate agents make on home sales?

innocence faded asked:


Just wondering, is it a flat fee, or is there a certain percent for a certain sale amount? Also, do they make any type of “base” salary for just showing the homes even if they do not make a sale?

(For the state of New Jersey, if that makes any difference.)

    It depends on the agency you’re working for and the type of real estate you’re showing and selling. Some agencies will give you a base salary which you’ll draw against based on your prior and/or future sales. If you think you’ll survive on salary alone, the agency may figure you’re too lazy to earn a living and help you find the door, if you know what I mean.
