Real Estate Private Equity Analyst - Split Commission?
REPE analyst for a small shop focusing on acquiring commercial real estate and CRE debt. 

Sourced, underwrote, and negotiated a retail transaction. The Seller is paying a 1.50% to us. Wondering if it’s reasonable to discuss splitting the commission as a transaction bonus? This is a standard structure for our leasing agent with signed leases. Would love thoughts from the group. Thanks.
[{"id": "hyz9xf3", "text": "Private equity doesn't do commission. You get carry or equity in the deals if you've been there long enough. These get paid when you exit the deal or during capital events. \n\nYou'd typically also have a bonus which is discretionary in most, if not all, cases in REPE firms. If you've done all the work then have a conversation with your boss about carry and bonus. Also reread your employment contract to understand what you're entitled to. \n\nTransaction or leasing brokers get commission on deals they do. That's a different game so don't expect the same.", "replies": [{"id": "hyza88r", "text": "Appreciate your insight!", "replies": [{"id": "hz06at1", "text": "Sounds like he sourced a tenant for a retail center they own?
