Question

A seller listed a home for $200,000 and agreed to pay a commission rate of 5%. The MLS stated that the commission would be shared between the listing office and the selling office on a 50-50 basis. The home was sold four weeks later for 90% of the list price. The listing broker paid the listing sales associate 50% of the listing office's commission. The selling broker paid the selling associate 60% of the selling office's commission. How much commission did the selling sales associate receive

Answer 1

Answer:

The selling sales associate received $2,700

Explanation:

The final number was 180 thousand dollars. Then the MLS chared 5% of the total sale. Thus, 9 thousand dollars is the commission. Now, the commission was divided again and the sales associate received 50% of the listing office's commission. So those 9000 are divided in 2 and we get 4500 which then are divided and the selling sales associate receives the 60% of that amount or 2700 dollars.
