A real estate broker is a&nbsp;<strong>licensed real estate professional&nbsp;<\/strong>in their own right who\u2019s also a licensed real estate agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a   href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/ask\/answers\/101314\/what-are-differences-among-real-estate-agent-broker-and-realtor.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">primary difference<\/a>&nbsp;between a real estate broker and an agent is that a broker can&nbsp;<strong>start their own firm and hire real estate agents<\/strong>&nbsp;to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a real estate agent to become a&nbsp;licensed real estate broker&nbsp;in Virginia, they have to complete 180 class\/clock hours&nbsp;of Board-approved&nbsp;Pre-License Courses&nbsp;and pass the state and national portions of the broker examination. Lastly, submit verification of experience (actively engaged as a salesperson for 36 of the 48 months preceding application)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"commission\"><strong><br>Average Real Estate Broker Commission in Virginia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/real-estate-commissions-in-virginia\/\">Virginia real estate agent commission<\/a> ranges between 5% to 6%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This commission is split evenly between the listing and the buyer\u2019s agent. Let\u2019s look at the below example to understand how the average real estate broker commission is divided:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>6% <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/how-to-negotiate-real-estate-commission\/\">Real Estate Commission<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>3% Listing Agent Commission<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1.5% Listing Agent Commission<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1.5% Listing Broker Commission<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>3% Buyer\u2019s Agent Commission<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1.5% Buyer\u2019s Agent Commission<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1.5% Buyer\u2019s Broker Commission<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, effectively, the real estate broker commission in Virginia is lesser because it is split between the buyer\u2019s agent and the broker. It is possible that the buyer\u2019s agent may be a licensed <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/real-estate-brokers\/\">real estate broker<\/a>. In that case, they earn the full 2.5% to 3% broker commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"review-broker\"><strong><br>Reviews: Best Virginia Real Estate Brokers In 2024<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Glen Cornwell<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"houzoTabBlock \">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"houzeoToptab\"><div class=\"houzeoTabBlockTopRow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/vendors\/agents\/glen-cornwell\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"font-size:0;\" class=\"houzeoTopLeft companyWebsiteLink\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"companyLogo\" alt=\"Top Real Estate Brokers - Glen Cornwell, Houzeo Affiliate\" src=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/glen-cornwell-houzeo-affiliate.webp%20\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"logo_arrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dtpwvruv8ddnl.cloudfront.net\/images\/blog\/html-tab-block-link-icon-v1.png\" alt=\"Logo-Link\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"houzeoTopright\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"houzeoTopRightIn\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-51209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4.75-Stars.webp\" alt=\"4.75 Stars\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>4.9\/5<\/strong> <em>(out of 67 reviews)<\/em><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"houzeoLogoPara\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"houzeoLogoTitle\">BEST OVERALL<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"houzeoLogoDesc\">20 years of experience<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"houzeoBottomTab\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"houzeoTabLabelWrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"houzeoTabLabelInnerWrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"houzeoLabel active\">\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udcbc Introduction<span class=\"downTringle\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"houzeoLabel\">\u26a1 Tech Stack<span class=\"downTringle\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"houzeoLabel\">\u2b50 Reviews<span class=\"downTringle\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"houzeoLabel \">\ud83d\udccd Coverage<span class=\"downTringle\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"houzeoTabContentWrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"houzeoDescContent houzeofirstDescContent\"><div class=\"contentDesc\"><p>\ud83d\udccc <strong>Note:<\/strong> Glen Cornwell provides an unbeatable combination of best-in-class savings, cutting-edge technology through Houzeo, and 5-star customer support.

The best agents will often make these suggestions without your input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Local Real Estate Brokerages<\/strong>: Hire or retain a local expert. These agents will also be aware of the typical selling and listing prices in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than that, ask a local brokerage or your friends and family if they know anyone who has sold many homes or businesses there.
