Real estate commissions are paid out from the Seller proceeds at close of a transaction. This is for both the Seller and Buyer's agents. However, the buyer does have his/her closing costs which are typically 2.5%-3% of the purchase price. These costs relate to conveyance of the property from Seller to Buyer and do not include your loan costs (i.e. points, lender/mortgage fees etc).


Mr Real Estate
Seller pays the commission to listing agent and selling agent. I'm a Realtor.

No you don't pay any fees the second guy has it right, I have no idea how an assistant realtor got it wrong. Only the seller pays.

Yes

No, the seller pays the fees as a deduction from the proceeds at closing.

The other answer is very strange coming from someone who works in the industry, she is misinformed.

Thank God you are not my real estate assistant......

Yes, usually it is about 3% of the sales price, and can usually be rolled into your loan.

All monies involved in a real estate deal are negotiable. Someone must pay the realtor fees at closing. Consider offering to make the payment if you have the cash available to assist in negotiating an overall lower price.

ACTUALLY. The buyer and seller BOTH split the commission, unless otherwise noted in the Real Estate Contract.
