Where a Real Estate Commission goes

This chart describes how a commission is divided among all of the parties involved.

After a successful sale of your property, the real estate commission is shared among all who assisted in this important transaction. Generally, the commission is divided four ways:


  1. Seller's Brokerage Firm
  2. Seller's Agent
  3. Buyer's Brokerage Firm
  4. Buyer's Agent


In recognition of the important roles each played in the sale of your property, each is compensated by a percentage of the commission.
