Pooled Commission
Estate Agents generally charge a fee for selling a property. The vendor pays the fee and it is commonly a percentage of the sale price.
Some estate agents work on a system where all the negotiators get paid an equal share of this fee regardless of which negotiator actually made the deal happen.
