Frequently Asked Questions
What is a commission percentage?
The commission percentage is a portion of the sale price that a realtor or agent earns as their fee for facilitating the transaction. It is agreed upon before the sale and usually ranges from 2% to 6% of the sale price.
How do I interpret the commission amount?
The commission amount is the total fee the realtor earns from the sale. It is calculated using the commission percentage applied to the house price. This amount is typically deducted from the sale proceeds before any funds are distributed to the property owner.
Can the commission rate vary?
Yes, the commission rate can vary based on the agreement between the realtor and the client. It may also depend on the local real estate market conditions and the services provided by the realtor.
What if I don't know the house price yet?
You can estimate the commission with an approximate house price. Once the actual price is known, you can recalculate to get a more accurate commission amount and owner's remaining amount.
Is this calculator applicable to rental properties?
No, this calculator is designed for property sales. Rental properties may involve different commission structures and should be evaluated with different criteria.
