Real Estate Brokerage Practice Sheet

Sample Problem:

A real estate broker is looking to list a property for sale. The broker has determined that the market value of the property is $500,000. The broker is looking to list the property for a 6% commission. How much should the broker list the property for?

Step 1: Calculate the commission amount.

Commission = 6% of $500,000

Commission = 0.06 x 500,000

Commission = $30,000

Step 2: Subtract the commission amount from the market value.

Listing Price = Market Value - Commission

Listing Price = $500,000 - $30,000

Listing Price = $470,000

Therefore, the broker should list the property for $470,000.
