What realtors are you using that only charge 1.5%? It was 3% each to the seller's and buyer's agent last time I moved.

They do end up not being too rich on an annual pay basis where I live because the number of realtors actively working adjusts to the volume and pricing.

A realtor's income might be 1.5% (or less) because they split the 3% commission with their brokerage house, and sometimes with supporting agents.
