4 Sale Commissions Commission often is shared by –Listing broker –Listing sales associate –Selling broker –Selling sales associate ©2015 Kaplan, Inc.

5 Sharing Commission Example Sales associate Bill who works for Proven Realty, secured a listing for $173,000 at 6 percent commission. Terry, who works for Reliance Realty, sold the property at the listed price. The listing broker and selling broker share the commission equally. The broker of Reliance Realty keeps 45 percent of what his company received. How much was Terry compensated? ©2015 Kaplan, Inc.

6 Solution $173,000 sale price × 6 percent commission = $10,380 total commission $10,380 ÷ 2 = $5,190 commission to selling office 100% - 45% = 55% to selling sales associate $5,190 selling office × 55 percent = $2,854.50 selling sales associate’s commission ©2015 Kaplan, Inc.

7 Graduated Commission A broker lists a hotel for $2,500,000, and the seller agrees to a graduated commission. The seller will pay a 5% commission on the first $1,000,000 of the actual sale price; 6% commission on the next $1,000,000 of the sale price; and 7% commission on any of the sale price above $2 million. What will be the total commission if the property sells for $2,250,000? ©2015 Kaplan, Inc.

8 Solution 1.$1,000,000 x 5% = $50,000 2.$1,000,000 x 6% = $60,000 3.$250,000 x 7% = $17,500 4.$50,000 + $60,000 + $17,500 = $127,500 total commission ©2015 Kaplan, Inc.

9 Percentage Applied to Selling Price, Cost, and Profit Profit –How much you make over and above your cost Loss –How much you sell below your cost Profit Formula –Amount made on sale ÷ Total cost = Percent Profit Loss Formula –Amount lost on sale ÷ Total cost = Percent Loss ©2015 Kaplan, Inc.

10 Example A lot cost $28,000 and sold for $35,000. –What is the percentage of profit? ©2015 Kaplan, Inc.

11 Solution $35,000 price - $28,000 cost = $7,000 profit $7,000 made on sale ÷ $28,000 cost =.25 25% profit made on sale ©2015 Kaplan, Inc.

12 Another Example A house cost the owner $125,000. The owner sold the house for $100,000. What was the percent of loss? ©2015 Kaplan, Inc.

13 Solution $100,000 price - $125,000 cost = -$25,000 $25,000 loss ÷ $125,000 cost =.20 20% loss on the sale ©2015 Kaplan, Inc.

14 One More Example A lot sold for $35,000, making a 25 percent profit. What was the cost of the lot? ©2015 Kaplan, Inc.

15 Solution 100% cost + 25% profit = $35,000 selling price 125% = $35,000 selling price $35,000 ÷ 1.25 (125%) = $28,000 cost of lot ©2015 Kaplan, Inc.
