The Broker fee is set at one-eighth of a percent (1/8% = 0.125%) per transaction side of the Residential Sales Price (SP), or a minimum of $625, whichever is greater. The commission stated in the Residential Sales Commission Plan (RSCP) chart "EXAMPLE" above reflects a 2.50% commission structure, based off of the Sales Price. Please keep in mind that commission percentages and sales compensations may vary and are not set at a fixed percentage or dollar amount. There is no limit to the maximum commission percentage per transaction side.

Although the use of a Transaction Coordinator (TC) is highly encouraged for all Agents in Residential Sales Transactions, it is not required or mandatory to use a Transaction Coordinator for Experienced Agents who have over $2 million in proven California Residential Sales Transactions. However, Agents who have no residential sales experience or have sold less than $2 million in proven Residential Sales Transactions; or do any commercial real estate transactions are required to use a Transaction Coordinator. Please note that Costera Luxury Properties (the Broker) is not affiliated with and does not employ or refer Transaction Coordinators to manage transaction files for any of their Agents.

Typically, a TC will charge a transaction coordination fee for their services of approximately $400 to $600 per transaction side. Additionally, all TC fees are the responsibility of the Agent, not the Broker, and are to be paid through escrow once the transaction is closed and complete.
