How do real estate agents make money?

by Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate Equinox

Real estate agents primarily earn money through commissions generated from successful real estate transactions. At Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Equinox, our agents generate income by:

Representing Sellers: As listing agents, they market properties effectively across Lane County, negotiate on the seller’s behalf, and earn a commission when the home sells.
Representing Buyers: As buyer’s agents, they help clients find and purchase properties, negotiate favorable terms, and also earn a commission, typically paid from the seller’s proceeds.
Referral Fees: Agents may earn fees for referring clients to other qualified professionals or to agents in different geographical areas.

Rental Transactions: Facilitating rental agreements for landlords or tenants can also yield commissions. Our agents’ earnings directly reflect their dedication, local market expertise, and ability to expertly guide clients through complex real estate processes in Eugene, Springfield, and beyond.
