The real estate sales commission is the percentage of a real estate sales price that is distributed to real estate brokers and agents involved in a transaction. The commission serves as the brokers' and agents' payment for helping the buyers and sellers of a piece of real estate complete the deal.
Realtors make money on commission: They only get paid when they sell a house or help someone buy a house. The standard Realtor commission in the United States is between 5 and 6 percent, which is evenly split between the seller's agent and the buyer's agent [source: Linden].
