I don't know if this is the same way today, but when I had my Florida license in the 80's in Hernando County, at Remax the agents didn't share any commission with the broker. They paid $1200 a month for their desk and the broker provided the phone lines, a receptionist and the utilities for the building. So if a commission was $12,000, it would normally be a 4 way split, listing agent, listing broker, selling agent, selling broker. However, with Remax the listing or selling agent got the whole amount for their side of the deal.

My neighbor just put his 2BR 2BA masonry CYV seven years old in Tamarind Grove on one of the FSBO websites two weeks ago for $229K furnished and I found out yesterday he sold it, I don't know the amount yet. I had referred it to someone who was in the market and they said they thought it was too much, to me it seemed like an accurate price. It had a $10,000 landscaping job front and back.
