Under49 Pa. Code § 35.283 (Compensation and Commission), asalesperson may only receive compensation through their employing broker.All commissions, bonuses, or referral fees must be paid by the broker and not directly to or from another licensee.
A real estate salesperson cannot accept direct payment from clients, buyers, or sellers.
Any bonus or commission earned must first go to the broker, who then distributes the appropriate amount to the salesperson.
Why the other answers are incorrect:
Option A (Direct Commission from Buyer & Seller):Salespersonscannot accept direct payments from clients; all payments must go through their broker.
Option B (Pay Referral Fee to Another Salesperson):Only brokers can pay referral fees.A salespersoncannotpay another licensee.
Option D (Split Commission Directly with Another Licensee):Commissionsmust be handled by the broker, not between individual agents.
