THE COMMISSION
HOW REALTORS® ARE PAID Commission is paid by the seller at closing and is based on a percentage agreed upon in the listing contract. This percentage is then applied to the sale price of your home and distributed at closing. For example, if the total commission is 7% and the property sells for $125,000, the commission would be calculated as follows: $125,000 x 0.07 = $8,750 (Total Commission Due) 60% = $5,250 for the listing brokerage 40% = $3,500 for the buyer’s brokerage
NAR SETTLEMENT DISCLOSURE Recent settlements with the National Association of REALTORS® have highlighted changes in how commissions are handled in certain markets. We stay informed and transparent about these developments to ensure your experience is smooth and up-to-date.
No Upfront Costs! Commission is paid from the proceeds of your home sale at closing. If your home doesn’t sell, you don’t pay a thing!
Note: The division of commission reflects the 60/40 market split in the Omaha area, which may differ from other markets.
