Mona Real Estate is compensated in a straightforward way, with the structure discussed up front, so there are no surprises.
Traditional Brokerage Fees
In most assignments, I’m paid a brokerage fee at closing when I represent a client in a purchase, sales, or lease.
- For sales, compensation is typically a percentage of the sale price, agreed to in writing before we begin.
- For commercial leases, compensation is typically a percentage of the aggregate rent or a locally standard structure.
- For real estate tax appeals, compensation is typically tied into a percentage of the tax savings.
Advisory and Planning Engagements
Some clients want clarity before they make a move, and sometimes that means coordinating with their advisory team. This can include reviewing multiple properties, helping an estate or trust evaluate real estate holdings and options, or thinking through a cross-market decision so the timing and numbers make sense.
In those situations, we can agree on a flat advisory fee for a defined scope of work. If that planning later leads to a purchase or sale where I represent you as your broker, a portion of the advisory fee can be credited toward the brokerage fee, so the economics stay fair.
