Richard asks…
what is the going percentage given for a real estate finders fee?
I would like to know to expect as a finders fe for aa real estate sale?

Philadelphia Real Estate answers:
What are you doing to get this real estate finders fee?
If you are finding real estate for investors or clients for real estate agents those are two different items are paid differently depending on the service you provide.
In finding real estate for a real estate investor depending on how much information you provide as well as the agreement you have with the investor.
In a real estate sales transaction for a real estate agent a fee could be as small as a dinner out to an expensive restaurant or as much as half of the commission a real estate agent earn, again this would depend on the information you provide as well as the agreement you have with the real estate agent.
Some real estate professionals will tell you that it would be illegal to give a finders fee to someone, however, this is not the real world. This is being done everyday. Some of your top producers have set up such a network that they have clients on a daily ore weekly basis based on these finders.
Real estate investors build their business on these real estate finders also, therefore they are the first to know about a foreclosure, a divorce and other things that would cause a property to become a foreclosure or distressed property.
Some go so far as to train their finders so the investor would do less work while the finder know exactly what the investor is seeking in the purchase of investment properties.
These finders would sometimes go on to become investors themselves after learning for their mentor.
I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.
“FIGHT ON”

John asks…
How many homes does the average real estate agent sale in one year?
I understand that it fluctuates based on the agent, the market and the broker they work for. Can anyone give me a ballpark range?

Philadelphia Real Estate answers:
The average is one, as most of them do not even sell one.

Paul asks…
How do you become a real estate broker as well as a sales agent?
I wanted to know how I could continue to sale real estate and be a broker for myself. I know their a way around it since you cant be a salesperson for your own brokerage. Im in California.

Philadelphia Real Estate answers:
You can sell as a broker.
You have to work as a salesman for 2 years in CA before you can take the brokers test. CAR should have something on their site in regards to the additional schooling required.
