How much do we Realtors REALLY make???
 
I get so tired of reading about how much Realtors make in the news...Today in our local paper an article hit saying that billions of dollars have been made in Real Estate commissions this year..The media makes it sound like we are all sitting around raking in the dough and doing absolutely nothing!!  How untrue..If that was the fact, I'd be sitting on a warm sunny beach right now sipping a drink with an umbrella in it. I'd like to share with you all where your well spent dollars go when you hire a Realtor to market your home.
Let's say your home is worth $175,00..(the average price of a home in the Lewis-Clark Valley)
If I list and sell your home with a 6% commission the fee would be $10,500.
That amount is split between me, the listing agent, and the agent who brings you the buyer..Most people who look to buy a home will contact a realtor to help them. It is my job as a listing agent to not only market your home to the public, but to other Realtors as well...Realtors with solid buyers, not just people who are "tile kickers" as I like to call them...
That makes the commission $5,250 per ... more
