As a sales agent, the earnings from selling a single home can vary widely based on the home's selling price and the commission rate. Typically, agents earn a percentage, usually around 5-6% of the home's selling price, which is then split between the buyer's and seller's agents. However, this rate can be negotiated. For instance, if a home sells for $300,000 and the commission rate is 6%, the total commission would be $18,000. After splitting with the buyer's agent, the seller's agent would earn $9,000.
