Although the typical commission rate is 7% for Residential and 10% Commercial there is no set commission rate, it all depends of the amount of work you want the agent to do (advertising, paperwork, ect.) and how much incentive you want to give the buyers agent which makes your house desirable for agents to show, also the agent does not get all of the commission, it is divided between the agent his broker the buyers agent and his broker plus advertising.

How much does a realitor make?

A Realtor is paid a percentage of the sale of the property. Each Realtor can charge a different commission and it depends on the amount the property sales for how much they receive. However, there is a Realtor on each side of the transaction, one for the buyer and one for the seller unless the listing agent is doing both side. Even if one Realtor did both sides they would not receive the total commission unless they were the broker for the realty company itself. So a Realtor may only receive a small portion of the commission depending on how many parties are involved in the transaction. Overall a Realtor makes a percentage of the total amount of house they sell in a year. Example if they sell a $100K house and the percentage is set at 7% as a general rule the listing agent would get 3.5% and the buyers agent would get 3.5 percent. Then the Realtors 3.5% is further divided by whatever % the broker gets and what remains is what the Realtor gets. As most Realtors are independent agents all of their expenses and taxes must come out of the percentage that is left over.
