The reality is the listing REALTOR® is only the selling REALTOR® (introduces buyer to the property) in approximately 10% of situations. In 90% of situations the selling REALTOR® (also known as the buyer’s agent) is someone else. Which begs the question…..why is the listing commission traditionally split 50/50?

It’s pretty simple. The way most modern real estate brokerages work is they charge their REALTORS® a “desk fee.” For example, a desk fee can be $500 per month. On top of that brokerages typically also charge something called a “deal fee” which is paid to the brokerage for each successful transaction a REALTOR® executes. For example, a desk fee can be $250 per successful transaction.
The desk fee is not dependent on sales; therefore, it is the most consistent stream of revenue for many brokerages. If a brokerage has 100 REALTORS® their monthly revenue from the $500/month desk fee will be $50,000; however, if they have 200 REALTORS® their monthly revenue will be $100,000.
While productive agents are ideal, the number of REALTORS® at a brokerage is likely the key to success. For the most part, real estate brokerage will recruit anyone with a licence. It doesn’t matter whether you have one week of experience or 20 years of experience the monthly desk fee is the key to success.
When I received my licence many brokerages offered me large incentives to join the brokerage. Few asked what I had to offer, it was more of a sales pitch in terms of why I should join their brokerage. When you think about it – it makes sense. The brokerage is most interested in the desk fee. Productivity is the bonus.

When it comes to real estate commissions, sometimes you can pay a whole lot LESS while receiving a whole lot MORE in terms of services and experience.
“A large portion of a REALTOR’S® commission is paid to her/his brokerage!” This is myth. Twenty some years ago REALTORS® paid hefty commission splits, upwards of 30%, to their brokerage; however, this is not the case anymore. The majority of successful REALTORS® pay a rather small fee to their brokerage on every transaction.
For example, I work at Fair Realty in Victoria, B.C. and I pay $150/month for something called a “desk fee” to my brokerage. In addition to that I pay $250 per transaction; whether the commission is $5,000, $10,000 or $25,000 I pay the same $250 transaction fee to my brokerage.
In fact, the 6th largest brokerage in all of Canada, Right At Home Realty Inc., also charges a similar amount: $79 per month, $275 per transaction, 100% commission. Right at Home Realty Inc. started in 2004 and has grown every year to over 2,300 REALTORS® in the Greater Toronto Area. You can look at what they offer to REALTORS® on their website -> http://www.joinrightathome.com/
And why is it expensive?
