Real Estate Agent Commission Invoicing

Real estate agents earn commission, usually 5-6% of the sale price split between buyer’s and seller’s agents, then split again with the brokerage. An invoice (or statement) clarifies who owes what and by when.

Commission structure on the invoice

Real estate commission statement: Property sold: 123 Main St Sale price: $450,000 Commission rate: 6% Gross commission: $27,000 Your share (50%): $13,500 Brokerage split (20%): ($2,700) MLS fees: ($50) Marketing costs: ($200) Net commission due: $10,550 Payment terms: Upon closing (standard 3-5 business days)

Track and itemize all splits

Broker split, MLS fees, marketing costs, transaction coordinator fees — every reduction needs to be on paper. You need to see net commission clearly so you know what’s actually hitting your account.

When to invoice

Real estate invoices happen at closing when the buyer’s lender releases funds. You’ll coordinate with your broker to ensure you get paid within days.
