Question

Out of the commision realtors earn, was percentage do they keep vs. giving back to corporate (realty company)?

Answer 1

Its negotiable and varies depending on the company and how much the realtor earns.  In one company in my area the realtor has the choice of an 80/ 20 split (80 to the agent, 20% to corporate) or simply paying a flat fee of $500 per month.  

Then other companies offer similiar programs, but other firms offer graduated commissions.  This means that maybe for the first $1000 in commissions in a given year the agent only kept 10%, but for the next $1000 they kept 20%, and up and up until after the agent was earning $100,000 in commissions they were keeping like 98% of the money.

Anyhow, those are the main options around where I am.
