The Weekly Poll: Do you understand how real estate agents get paid?

May 31, 2009

The weekly poll is confused about how it gets paid. Go vote and explain to it that it doesn’t.

This week’s topic is a product of my curiosity about the public’s general knowledge about how real estate agents get paid. The real estate industry isn’t known for its transparency and agents tend to be pretty tight lipped on the subject of their paychecks, so I’m itching to know how much the average Joe – or Josephine – knows about how my fellow agents and I get our green. And I’m not going to give any answers away here – I’ll save those for an upcoming post on the subject.

So what about you?  Do you know exactly how agents get paid or is the whole set up a mystery to you? Cast your vote and let me know.
