American Agency System

The American Agency System is a method of real estate brokerage where one company, called the listing agency, has a contractual agreement with the seller to market and sell their property. When a buyer’s agent shows the property and facilitates the sale, both agencies usually share a pre-agreed commission, paid from the seller’s proceeds. This system promotes collaboration among agents, incentivizing everyone involved for successful transactions. It’s a standard way for real estate professionals to work together efficiently, ensuring buyers and sellers are supported by experienced agents while maintaining clear financial arrangements.
