Higher sale price means more money for me — so I’ll fight for every dollar.
The Premise
A broker is paid a percentage of the sale price.
A $10,000 Bump
At a 4% commission, that produces $400 in total.
Split Between Two Brokers
$200 per broker after the buyer/seller split.
After the Brokerage
About $100 net ends up in the broker’s pocket.
The Real Risk
Risking a $20,000 commission to gain $100?
The Math Does Not Add Up
The promised alignment does not exist at the margin.
