Question

When a real estate agent get a house rented how much does she get paid?

> If there is not an exact number estimate the amount or tell me If I get someone to rent a house for $2500 a month how much should I get paid for finding an occupant to sign a year lease.

Answer 1

You need to ask your broker what the brokerage is charging, as he gets his cut, as well as the legal responsibility, the broker sets the price, not the agent.

Answer 2

Realtors earn 1 or 2 months rent.  Depends on the contract the owner of the house has agreed to.

Answer 3

usually its one month's rent

Answer 4

It can depend on the initial contract the owner signed with the Realtor. For example "Listing says $1500 per month plus 1 month sec" You pay the 1 month and the $1500. Now if the agreement was that 1/2 the security goes to the agent, then at that point either you pay the 750 to the agent or the security gets handed to the owner who then distributes the commission to the agent. Every state varies with this. Check your local state Realtor board for exact answers. This is coming from NYS.
