Real estate commissions are all about splits. If you agree to list your home for a 6\% total commission, frequently that means the listing agent and brokerage will take half at closing — 3\% — and the buyer’s agent and brokerage will get the other half. Both brokerages split their fee with the individual agents involved, who may get half or more.
