Darren,

I think that's a little like asking someone how much they earn. Asking the question may seem a little personal to some.

If a mortgage broker does a good job for me, it doesn't really matter how much commission that broker earns. It's a win-win situation.

Hiya Beech

How much do you get and how often does sound a little personal.

Oh, you mean commissions ?

Heck I dont have a problem with that, seeing we disclose these anyway.

Much depends on the volumes you do and the type of business you have.

A low volume franchised broker would receive around $ 800 bucks upront commission and say 200 a year in trailing commission with the trail decreasing over time.

A broker with their own business with low volume can get $ 1300 upfront and 500 a year in trail.

These are sort of middle of the road averages.

Was just hoping to get some idea, certainly wasnt after anyones yearly income or anything.
Much appreciated.
