Frequently asked questions

What is a co broke commission split?

In a co broke deal, two agents represent the two sides of a transaction and share the commission. The market default is 50/50, but the actual contribution often is not equal. This tool models a split that reflects who brought the listing, who sourced the buyer and who did the heavier lifting.

How does the tool decide the split percentage?

It starts at 50/50, then shifts the balance for three factors: holding the listing side, sourcing the buyer and carrying the larger share of work during the deal. Each factor nudges the split by a set amount, and the result is capped between 20 and 80 percent so neither side is left with a token cut.

Why is lead source weighted in the split?

Sourcing the buyer or seller is often the hardest, most valuable part of a deal, so the agent who brings the lead carries more of the commission logic. The tool gives lead source meaningful weight precisely because a 50/50 default can undervalue the side that generated the opportunity in the first place.

Is a 50/50 co broke split always fair?

Not necessarily. 50/50 is a convenient default, but if one agent sourced the lead, marketed the unit and ran most viewings while the other simply introduced a buyer, an even split overpays one side. The tool exists to surface that gap so the conversation is grounded in contribution, not habit.

How should I present this split to the other agent?

Frame it on contribution, not entitlement. Walk through who did what, listing, lead, viewings, paperwork, and let the split follow from that. The tool gives you a defensible starting number and the reasoning behind it, which makes the discussion about the work done rather than a tug of war over percentages.
