What is the Normal Host Agency Commission Split?
While there is no “normal” commission split, there is a correlation between the amount of work and responsibility that you assume and the amount of commission you will receive. Beginning and referral agents will require a good amount of time and effort on the part of the agency so would receive a very minor portion of the commissions generated by their efforts. Usually most referral agents receive from 10 to 30% of the commissions generated from their efforts. Agents doing more of the work on behalf of their clients can expect to receive from 30% to 70% of the commission and those agents that really do not need any hand-holding can earn up to 100% of the commission from a host agency. It just depends on the agents and the host agency’s needs at the time an agreement is reached.
