¿Cuánto cobran los agentes inmobiliarios?

Si necesita contratar a un agente inmobiliario para que lo ayude a comprar o vender una casa, tenga en cuenta que a estos profesionales inmobiliarios se les paga a través de una comisión inmobiliaria. Entonces, ¿cuánto cuesta y por qué? ¿Se puede negociar esto?

Como un agente de bienes raíces en Orlando, FL desde 2004, por favor permíteme explicarte todo lo que necesitas saber sobre las comisiones de bienes raíces.

¿Cuánto cuestan las comisiones inmobiliarias?

En lugar de recibir un pago por hora o un salario semanal, los agentes inmobiliarios solo cobran si la transacción de bienes raíces se concreta.

Algunas agencias inmobiliarias cobran una tarifa fija por sus servicios, mientras que la mayoría de los agentes cobran un porcentaje del precio de venta una vez que se ha concretado la transacción. El porcentaje exacto puede variar; sin embargo, la mayoría de las comisiones inmobiliarias suelen oscilar entre el 5 y el 6% del precio de venta. Así, en una casa de $100,000, una comisión del 5% sería de $5,000.

Esto puede parecer mucho dinero, pero ten en cuenta que la comisión inmobiliaria se divide entre el agente del vendedor y el agente del comprador. Además, los agentes inmobiliarios no reciben ni un centavo hasta que la transacción se concreta... un proceso que puede tomar semanas o incluso meses de trabajo según el trato.

¿Quién paga la comisión inmobiliaria?

Por lo general, el vendedor de la casa paga el monto total de la comisión por el servicio tanto del agente de bienes raíces como del agente del comprador... a menos que el agente represente tanto al comprador como al vendedor.

Por lo general, los dos agentes se reparten la comisión inmobiliaria a partes iguales (50/50). Si una casa se vende por $100,000 con una comisión del 5%, cada agente inmobiliario se llevará $2,500. Sin embargo, esto también puede variar en ciertas situaciones, como si el agente de venta solo le ofreciera 1% al agente del comprador. En el sector inmobiliario, por lo general, todo es negociable.

Explicación de la doble agencia inmobiliaria

Si el mismo agente inmobiliario representa tanto al comprador como al vendedor, el agente se convierte entonces en un “agente dual” y recibe la cantidad total de la comisión inmobiliaria. Es por eso que a los agentes de listados les encanta cuando también encuentran al comprador además de representar al vendedor. ¡Hablando de un pago enorme!

Como un agente inmobiliario en Orlando, esto me ha pasado innumerables veces. Sin embargo, a muchos agentes inmobiliarios no les gusta representar a ambas partes porque los coloca en la incómoda situación de tener que trabajar para ambos compradores, lo que a veces podría convertirse en un conflicto de intereses.

¿Qué cubre exactamente la comisión de un agente inmobiliario?

Los propietarios sin duda tienen la opción de vender o comprar su casa “Sin intermediarios” (por el propietario), pero cuando descubren la tremenda cantidad de tiempo y trabajo que requiere, por lo general terminan contratando a un agente inmobiliario. Los agentes inmobiliarios ofrecen una amplia gama de servicios como: fijar el precio correcto de la casa, promocionarla [en el Servicio de Listado Múltiples, redes sociales, etc.], las negociaciones e incluso guiar a los propietarios durante el cierre.

Un agente inmobiliario con experiencia puede ayudarle a obtener el mejor precio por su casa mientras maneja todo el estrés que conlleva vender una propiedad. Se lo digo por experiencia... ¡los buenos agentes inmobiliarios se ganan el dinero que cobran!

¿Necesita pruebas? Eche un vistazo a estas cifras... Una encuesta nacional reciente realizada en 2019 encontró que un típico Venta por dueño La vivienda se vendió por $195,000, en comparación con los $245,000 que se habrían obtenido con la ayuda de un agente inmobiliario, según la Asociación Nacional de Agentes Inmobiliarios®.

Eso significa que las viviendas puestas a la venta a través de un agente inmobiliario se vendieron por $50,000 más que las que se vendieron sin agente. Quizás por eso un impresionante 92% de los propietarios recurrió a un agente inmobiliario para vender su casa.

¿Son negociables las comisiones de los agentes inmobiliarios?

Como solía decir todo el tiempo mi primer maestro de bienes raíces: “Todo en el sector inmobiliario es negociable”. Aunque aquí en Florida lo normal es una comisión de 5% a 6%, no hay ninguna ley estatal ni federal que establezca las tasas de comisión.

Esto significa que si desea vender su casa, ciertamente puede pedirle a su agente inmobiliario que reduzca su comisión; sin embargo, no están obligados a hacerlo.

Una cosa a considerar es la siguiente: su agente inmobiliario debe pagar la comercialización de su casa con la comisión que recibe después del cierre; una menor comisión podría significar un presupuesto de marketing más bajo para su casa, lo que podría traducirse en más tiempo en el mercado.

Dicho esto, no cuesta nada pedirle a tu agente que baje su comisión. A la mayoría de los agentes inmobiliarios no les ofenderá [¿a quién le importa si lo hacen?] y lo peor que te pueden decir es que no. Si andas justo con los números, puedes pedirles que te cobren una tarifa fija por ayudarte a poner la casa en venta, comunicarte con los compradores y redactar el contrato, pero no obtendrás un servicio completo por parte del agente o la agencia inmobiliaria con una tarifa fija. La mayoría de los agentes no ofrecen un contrato de corretaje por tarifa fija, por lo que tendrás que buscar un poco y estar preparado para hacer gran parte del trabajo pesado tú mismo.

Comprar o vender una casa probablemente será una de las transacciones financieras más grandes de su vida, así que asegúrese de encontrar un agente inmobiliario con experiencia en el que pueda confiar para hacer un gran trabajo. Este no es el momento de contratar a su sobrino que acaba de obtener su licencia hace 3 semanas...

Otras cosas que debes saber sobre las comisiones de bienes raíces

Cada detalle sobre la comisión de bienes raíces de un agente debe detallarse en el contrato de exclusividad de venta que usted firmó cuando contrató al agente. Un contrato de exclusividad típico también debe indicar cuánto tiempo lo representará el agente. Por lo general, un contrato de exclusividad en la Florida dura entre 90 y 120 días.

Como vendedor de una vivienda, usted quiere un agente inmobiliario que le consiga el precio de venta más alto y óptimo y los términos que desea, pero los mejores agentes inmobiliarios no son baratos. Como dice el viejo dicho con la mayoría de las cosas en la vida... obtienes lo que pagas.

What’s the Difference Between a Real Estate Agent and a Broker?


Whether you’re buying or selling a home, you’re going to need some help. So the question becomes… Who should you hire? Unless you’re in the industry, It can be quite confusing to figure out the different types of real estate professionals and what the difference is. Real estate professionals go by a few different names such as real estate agent, real estate broker, and of course, Realtor. So what exactly is the difference between the three?

Many times these different titles are used interchangeably because most people don’t know the difference between them. However, there are some important differences between them as well as special requirements for using certain titles.

Following is a list of the most common real estate professional titles you will come across and what exactly they mean.

The Real Estate Agent

The real estate agent is a licensed professional who helps people to buy, sell and rent different types of real estate such as residential and commercial.

For them to get the license, the state requires the individual to complete pre-licensing training. Depending on the jurisdiction, the number of training hours required can vary quite a bit. In the state of Florida, for example, real estate agents have to take 63 hours of pre-licensing training and in California, applicants must complete 135 hours of pre-licensing training before they can test for their license.

Once the training has been completed, applicants must then take a state-issued written exam. In Florida for example, the real estate sale associate exam is a 100-question multiple-choice test. 45 of the questions are on real estate principles and practices, and another 45 questions cover Florida and Federal laws, the additional 10 questions require math calculations.

Once they’ve passed this exam, they can now call themselves a “real estate agent” and will most likely join a real estate brokerage where they can begin working with home buyers and sellers. New agents will also benefit tremendously from being around experienced agents.

The Real Estate Broker

A real estate broker is someone who has been a real estate agent for at least 2 years and has taken additional educational courses beyond the agent level as required by the state.

Pretty similar to a real estate agent’s exam, each state has its broker exam requirements and continued education. The additional requirements cover topics such as contracts, insurance, ethics, and taxes in a more in-depth level of understanding than what was taught to them as a new agent.

Brokers are also required to be knowledgeable about legal issues and how the law pertains to operating a brokerage, investing in real estate, new construction, and even property management. It’s because of this that brokers should have a more in-depth knowledge of the real estate business in their state.

To take the state broker’s exam and get a license, real estate agents must have at least 2 years of experience as a licensed agent under a licensed broker in the state of Florida.

Typically, there are 3 different types of real estate brokers and each one has a different role to play.

There are three types of real estate brokers, each with subtle differences in the role they perform:

The Principal Broker: is the person in an office that oversees all the other agents in that particular office. This person is also in charge of making sure that agents are complying and operating within state and national real estate law. The Principal broker mainly gets paid a cut of every commission of every agent in that office. Some brokers also receive an annual salary in addition to their commission.

The Broker Associate: This real estate professional aka affiliate broker possesses a broker’s license but is working under a managing broker. This agent is usually not responsible for overseeing other agents.

The Realtor: For a real estate agent to become a Realtor they need to become a member of the National Association of Realtors®. When you become a member, you are agreeing to uphold the standards of the Realtor Association as well as its code of ethics.

The NAR holds agents to a higher standard beyond what the state requires. Realtors also have access to valuable real estate market data as well as transaction management services and several other tools which can be extremely helpful in the real estate business.

The Listing Agent

The listing agent in a real estate transaction represents the seller and they are the ones that list the property. If you’re looking to sell your house, then you’d be wise to hire a listing agent, as they specialize in selling homes. They help in countless ways including pricing the home, home improvement advice, marketing, open houses, negotiating, scheduling showings, and closing.

Just like any other type of agent, listing agents don’t receive any money unless the home gets sold. When and if it sells, the typical real estate sales commission in Florida is between 5 and 6% [to be split between the listing agent and buyer’s agent]. Although, as I learned in my very first real estate class… “everything in real estate is negotiable”.

The Buyer’s Agent

Like it says in the title, buyer’s agents represent people who are buying a home. Like the listing agent, a buyer’s agent has a whole list of tasks to complete to ensure a successful home buying experience for their clients. Buyer’s agents can help with things like finding the right house, negotiations, recommending mortgage brokers or financial institutions.

Just like the listing agent, the buyer’s agent is dependent on the deal going through to get paid from the sale of the property. This is good news for the home buyer because it doesn’t cost them anything to hire a buyer’s agent.

Finding The Right Real Estate Professional For You

Most people start their search on Google, which is a good starting place. However, it’s also good practice to find an agent which specializes in the area where you are buying… or selling. Once you have a few potential candidates selected, meet with them in person, ask questions and check their online reviews. By doing this you’ll know if they’re a good fit for you moving forward.

Beach Party: Best Locations for a Summer Home

Picking out the perfect summer home starts with an important decision, where that home should be located. There are a number of amazing summer spots to choose from, but consider some of these top beach locales to get your gears turning.

Tybee Island

Tybee Island is an often overlooked gem that is ideal for a relaxing beach house right on the shore. Located off the coast of Georgia, near the historic city of Savannah, it is not the spot people always think of for a beach property. The island boasts beautiful homes on idyllic beaches, and is perfect for families or couples looking for a romantic getaway.Vero Beach

Like Tybee Island, Vero Beach offers a calmer alternative than its neighbors in south Florida. This beautiful beach area is located in the center of the sunshine state, and has some incredibly impressive homes to offer, many that are right on the water. Nearby restaurants and shopping also make it an attractive vacation spot.

Malibu

Everyone knows Malibu is a stunning beach spot, it has been showcased in countless films and TV series. But this area is actually a reasonable spot to invest in for the summer, particularly if you are interested in beach rentals. You get all the luxury and beauty of this beach city, for an affordable rental price.

Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale is a time tested standby for a reason, it delivers the goods with prime, luxury real estate. Rental properties and beach houses in this sunny city put you in the center of the action, so you can have a summer spent in the middle of all the south Florida scene can boast. They don’t call it vacation heaven for nothing.

Jersey Shore

If you are looking for more than respite and relaxation for your holiday in the sun, you can’t do much better than the Jersey Shore. This area is famous for large rentals and vacation properties that let you take advantage of the amazing beaches by day, and the exciting nightlife once the sun sets. It’s a party from dusk till dawn, plus you are close enough to the city to take in hot bars at the Crosby and other boutique hotels.

A summer at the beach is the stuff of dreams, and a beach home makes that dream a reality. Look into these awesome beach spots and start planning your holiday away from it all. And make sure to pack your sunscreen!

We are Currently Hiring Orlando Realtors!

Orlando Realtors Wanted!

Due to the ever increasing amount of leads that we have coming into our office, it’s once again time to hire more Agentes inmobiliarios de Orlando so we can keep up with the demand. Have you ever wanted to work with and learn from a Top Orlando Broker?  Well, If you are a licensed Orlando Realtor, then now is your chance. Here are some of the things we take into consideration when hiring an Orlando Real Estate Agent.

Top 5 qualities we look for in when hiring an Orlando Real Estate Agent

1-  Be on time- Whether your coming into the office or headed to a meeting with a potential buyer or seller, nobody likes it when you make them wait. It’s unprofessional and It starts things of on the wrong foot. I’ve seen agents lose potential Orlando listings just because they showed up late for the appointment. The  seller will automatically think that you are always late for every thing you do.

2- Be a person of your word- If you say that you are going to do something, then follow through and do it. Being someone of your word will help to build your reputation as a trusted real estate professional in the community. It also helps to build trust with the people who work around you on a day to day basis. To be a successful Orlando agent you must have the  reputation of being a dependable agent and people will know that you won’t let them down.

3- Always be willing to learn- There are some agents out there that think they know everything because they’ve been doing real estate for a while, they get stuck in a certain way of doing things and resist change. With all the new laws and regulations that are happening in Orlando real estate, you have to be aware of them in order to serve the client to the best of your abilities. If you don’t know about the “New Law” that came out yesterday that will help your new client to achieve their goal, then you’re failing to do what’s best for your client.  I’ve been in real estate for 10 years and I feel like I learn something new everyday.

4- A good work ethic- This is something that is taught and instilled in you from when you’re a child. In my experience, It’s virtually impossible to teach an adult to have good work ethics if they don’t already have it in them. In the competitive world of Orlando Realty, you must be a hard worker if you’re going to survive solely as Realtor. We can provide an agent with a steady flow of leads for Orlando real estate, for both buyers and sellers. However, if those leads aren’t followed up on or worked on, then it’s a complete waste of time and marketing dollars.

5- Have a positive attitude- People that have a positive attitude tend to radiate positive energy or otherwise known as having a “Good Vibe”. These is really something that you either have or don’t have. I’ve met Orlando agents that absolutely hate being a realtor and it shows through. No matter how bad they try to hide it you just get the feeling that the don’t want to be there. This is negative energy aka having a “Bad Vibe”. Having a bad attitude will cripple you and ultimately destroy your career as a real estate agent. If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. To be a successful Orlando realtor, you have to absolutely love what you do and submerge yourself in it.

So there you have it. If you have the qualities mentioned above and you want to join one of Orlando’s Top Real Estate Brokerages, then please contact me so we can have a chat.
