Dual Agency Commissions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs a dual agent, you are likely able to collect both sides of the real estate commission. However, many listing agreements specify that the commission will be reduced if the listing agent finds the buyer. It is important to put this in writing at the beginning of the transaction and to make sure all parties are aware of the compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your broker will also likely have rules about dual agency, and what type of commission splits are allowed. As always, be sure to do your due diligence before entering into a dual agency transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you have another agent you trust, it may be better to ask them to handle one side of the transaction for you at a reduced fee to avoid being a dual agent. If you are about to take the real estate exam, be sure to understand how a dual agent is treated in your state and what the requirements are. This is definitely something that will be on the exam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
