Brokers are paid a commission that has been calculated as a percentage of sale price and divided between selling and buying brokers. However, real estate brokers are becoming more aware that a certain type of consumer will demand a commission discount or other form of savings and are beginning to adapt accordingly. There are a few different ways to obtain a real estate commission discount. Flat fee services can save real estate customers hundreds or even thousands of dollars on commission that they can put toward their new homes instead. Home sellers sign up online with a flat fee real estate agency for a flat fee that is paid upfront.
