A REALTOR is a real estate broker or agent who is a member of National Association of Realtors (NAR) and strictly follows <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/nar-code-of-ethics\/#NAR-Code-of-Ethics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NAR&#8217;s code of Ethics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-28\" id=\"Fees\"><strong>Georgia Real Estate Broker Commission<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The average real estate commission in Georgia is typically 6% of the sales price. It is typically split evenly (50-50) between the seller (listing) and the buyer agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Total Listing Commission<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Listing Agent Commission<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Listing Broker Commission<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3%<\/td><td>1.5%<\/td><td>1.5%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Total Buying Commission<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Buyer&#8217;s Agent Commission<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Buyer&#8217;s Broker Commission<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3%<\/td><td>1.5%<\/td><td>1.5%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that a real estate broker or agent may work for a brokerage.
