95% of list price = $300,000 x. 95 = $285,000. $285,000 X. 06 = $17,100 X. 45 = $7,695 X. 60 = $4617. It is common for two brokers to share: one lists the property working with the seller and another broker sells the property working with the buyer; each broker splits the amount of fee to the office with the associate who worked the transaction.
