Nine programs have been evaluated for the Best Airline Rewards Program rankings.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Calculating the Rankings:</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The frequent flyer program rankings are based on a scoring algorithm, which computes an Overall Score based on the following components:</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Ease of Earning Free Round-Trip Flight (47% weight): In order to evaluate the ease of earning a free round-trip flight, U.S. News analyzed two components: ease of earning and ease of redemption. The Ease of Earning a Free Round-Trip Flight score is a 50/50 composite of each program's earning and redemption scores.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Each program's earning score measures the typical miles or points earned by a U.S.-based flyer on an average flight within or to/from the U.S. To identify the typical cost and miles required for the average flight, U.S. News analyzed price and mileage survey data published in the Department of Transportation's Domestic Airline Consumer Airfare Report and the Bureau of Transportation Statistic's Annual U.S. Domestic Average Itinerary Fare in Current and Constant Dollars and TranStats.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The redemption score represents the average value an airline rewards program offers in points required for a free flight. The calculated redemption scores are based on searches conducted by U.S. News in July 2022. U.S. News analyzed up to 16 of each airline's highly trafficked routes within three round-trip mileage categories: short domestic (400 to 500 miles), medium domestic (2,200 to 2,600 miles), and long (4,800 to 5,200 miles) for four different round-trip dates between July and September to determine the average number of award points needed for a free round-trip flight across each airline.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Additional Benefits (25% weight): The Additional Benefits score comprises the number of ways members can earn and use points (other than for booking flights), whether or not points expire, and additional perks that elite members and members with basic branded credit cards (with an annual fee of $100 or less) receive, such as a free checked bag and airport lounge access. Programs can earn a benefits score between 1 and 5 depending on whether points can be acquired through hotel stays and credit card purchases and used to cover cabin upgrades, experiences (like concert tickets and sporting events), and hotel costs. Programs can also earn credit depending on how many miles program members must fly to take advantage of benefits like free checked bags and complimentary upgrades. Additionally, programs that offer more than one affiliated credit card can earn a higher Additional Benefits score. Programs will earn additional points if they: do not require members to spend a minimum amount of money to achieve elite status, let members with affiliated credit cards earn elite status or qualifying dollars toward elite status, and allow members to match elite status to the status equivalent from another airline or hotel loyalty program. For the 2022-2023 ranking, U.S. News also considered each frequent flyer program's response to the coronavirus pandemic and factored in how flexible and accommodating each program was for members.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Network Coverage (10% weight): The Network Coverage score represents the breadth and diversity of routes offered by each airline and its alliance network. The score is based on the total percent coverage each carrier offers in major regions across the globe (i.e. Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, the Caribbean and Mexico, Central and South America, Australia and the Pacific, and the U.S. and Canada). U.S. News referred to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics to determine the percentage of cities within each region serviced by each airline and its partners. The programs that service most cities in each region receive a 100% coverage rating and a higher overall Network Coverage score. Programs are awarded a score of 1 to 5 based on the passenger-weighted average of their individual region coverage scores.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The number of Daily Flights (10% weight): The Number of Daily Flights is awarded a score between 1 and 5, with 5 being the highest score. The score is directly related to the number of domestic flights the airline operates, which reflects the level of opportunity a program participant has to earn or use rewards. If an airline offers between 1 and 499 domestic flights per day, then the airline's Number of Daily Flights score would be 1 out of 5, while a carrier that provides 2,000 or more domestic flights per day would be awarded a 5.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Airline Quality Rating (8% weight): The Airline Quality Rating score is based on each airline's quality rating as determined in the annual Airline Quality Rating report published by Dean Headley, of Wichita State University, and Brent Bowen, of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The ratings represent each airline's performance in regard to on-time arrivals, lost or mishandled baggage rates, involuntary denied boarding rates, and consumer complaint rates. Each airline with a frequent flyer program represented in our rankings receives a score of 1 through 5 based on its AQR score.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Award Flight Availability (0% weight): The Award Flight Availability score represents the number and variety of award flights that can be purchased at a low cost using points or miles. In order to calculate this score, U.S. News compared the number of award flights available to program members at a lower threshold of point redemption (defined as flights that are at or below the average number of miles required to redeem across all airlines for a given mileage category). U.S. News calculated the volume of award flight options available at a low point value for up to 16 of each airline's highly trafficked short, medium, and long routes on four different round-trip dates between July and September.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">NOTE: Due to insufficient data, likely as a result of the coronavirus pandemic's continued effect on travel, Award Flight Availability was not factored into the scoring formula for the 2022-2023 ranking. As such, other components were weighted higher to reach the 100% scoring threshold.</span></b></p></description><link>https://www.elhodeibiimmobilier.vip/2024/05/airline-rewards-program-rankings.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (EL HODEIBI IMMOBILIER)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5EDxYNqlw7mwmLsl_h2HxTytyT7le0CR5JHH36dEUceGbj4vlqf4pS0RaT13oc30NXhUg3vmhZVI_h3v5J__n_w7_3udr8M4-Q6jjSezqLiiUCwNH5SiESgAB28kRzdU4DQp9YVNaHGGAzPqHPoDpgg9T2i_fws1-mqX4YqMJCa1Di0A__BC620HXmfE/s72-w400-h400-c/IMG_20200902_215438_337.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7406859095869485833.post-9139400932819615975</guid><pubDate>Sun, 26 May 2024 21:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2024-05-26T14:21:35.795-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">HOTEL</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">NEWS</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">REALESTATE</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">TRAVEL</category><title>Travel Rewards Programs Rankings</title><description><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxjt3CZy52MhqcW5SaRdRC3SCFPRLhyS0Rwcrao4aWAA_3Q6JncElsYuIhWp_cagC5ECTg7JbQzCi_j-E2DSzvQustoUI6a6eB7juY2nLtji7mXTsQizbsJS03SGf2vE50o0tMADbiNrWBC_KCNd6HVYrWBdHUT1sxUFtLiBzevHqua5J7K8d_hnrK7UQ/s2160/IMG_20200804_014124_803.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Travel Rewards Programs Rankings" border="0" data-original-height="2160" data-original-width="2160" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxjt3CZy52MhqcW5SaRdRC3SCFPRLhyS0Rwcrao4aWAA_3Q6JncElsYuIhWp_cagC5ECTg7JbQzCi_j-E2DSzvQustoUI6a6eB7juY2nLtji7mXTsQizbsJS03SGf2vE50o0tMADbiNrWBC_KCNd6HVYrWBdHUT1sxUFtLiBzevHqua5J7K8d_hnrK7UQ/w400-h400/IMG_20200804_014124_803.jpg" title="Travel Rewards Programs Rankings" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><b><br /></b></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Travel Rewards Programs Rankings</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The U.S. News &amp; World Report travel rankings are based on an analysis of expert and user opinions.

The overall score also considers travel writers' and visitors' feelings about the value, atmosphere, facilities, and, if applicable, the food scene of each thing to do.

All programs that appear on our Best Hotel Rewards Programs list offer members the ability to earn rewards and privileges each time they stay at a participating property.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Calculating the Rankings:</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">We compute each hotel program's Overall Score using an algorithm that comprises the following components:</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Ease of Earning Free Night (45% weight): Each program is awarded a score of 1 through 5 based on the average number of paid nights members must accumulate to earn a free night in each of the 20 destinations referenced in the Geographic Coverage score. Because hotel rates change frequently and vary by travel date, all research for this scoring category is conducted on the same day for the same travel dates – arriving Saturday and departing Sunday four weeks from the research data. We calculate the average number of paid nights required to earn a free night in each destination based on the average price in points of a one-night stay. (Programs that do not allow members to earn free nights receive a score of 0.)</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Additional Benefits (25% weight): The Additional Benefits score comprises the number of ways members can earn and use points apart from hotel stays, whether or not points expire, and complimentary services offered to elite members. Programs can receive an Additional Benefits score between 1 and 5 depending on whether points can be earned for flights, credit card purchases, and through other means, such as dining or shopping portals. Programs also earn Additional Benefits points for offering the following member perks: complimentary nights (that don't require any form of payment, whether in dollars or points), free room upgrades, priority check-in, and checkout, complimentary amenities (like internet access or a free drink at check-in) and member discounts on room rates. Programs that have more than one affiliated credit card are awarded an additional point in this category. Programs that offer these benefits receive additional credit for making them available to basic members. Programs that give members with affiliated credit cards complimentary elite status or match elite status earned in other hotel or airline rewards programs are awarded additional points. For the 2022-2023 ranking, U.S. News also considered each hotel rewards program's response to the coronavirus pandemic and factored in how flexible and accommodating each program was for members.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Geographic Coverage (15% weight): A program's Geographic Coverage score refers to the presence of participating hotels in the U.S. and abroad. This score represents how easy it is for members to take advantage of the program when traveling domestically and internationally. For our Geographic Coverage score calculation, we counted the number of participating hotels (with availability on the research date) within a 15-mile radius of 20 major business and leisure travel destinations in the U.S. and abroad. Points are awarded for each destination that contained a participating hotel, and additional credit is assigned to programs that feature more than nine participating hotels in a given destination.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Number of Hotels in Network (10% weight): Each program is assigned a score of 1 through 5 depending on how many properties are in the hotel group's portfolio – the more properties that participate in the program, the more opportunities members have to earn and redeem rewards. For example, a program that features more than 4,000 participating hotels receives a score of 5, while a program with fewer than 100 participating hotels earns a score of 1.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Property Diversity (5% weight): The Property Diversity score represents a variety of property types that participate in the program. A loyalty program that can be used across multiple property categories offers members more choice and flexibility in terms of style and price than a program that is only valid for one kind of hotel. We looked at each program to see what locations (beachfront, airport, city, mountains) and price ranges (luxury, upscale, mid-range, budget) are available within the program's network. A program can earn up to 8 diversity points, with 1 point awarded per applicable category. Programs with 8 points receive a Property Diversity score of 5, while programs with 2 or fewer points receive a score of 1.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Please note: For each Ease of Earning a Free Night score for programs that reward members on a stay-by-stay basis rather than a dollar or nightly basis, we translated the number of stays needed into the number of nights needed assuming that the average stay equals 2.5 nights. According to research from the American Hotel &amp; Lodging Association, 58% of business travelers and 51% of leisure travelers stay two or more nights during each hotel stay.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p></description><link>https://www.elhodeibiimmobilier.vip/2024/05/hotel-rewards-program-rankings.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (EL HODEIBI IMMOBILIER)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6b_yODxyaTFyGXQ85KpPSoZV1dDopN3jAErhl0zf4vGHqQl5T28gLoBmxzU82nhM2W1cdbFNKRE2n2YYvy7y1Hu_9SZCUUlvZNy7Pa7awHK8rbN20ADA4AC5Q70NW61doMAuh1z2WSeA4T-n0btMy7gamYyJbh_179Wbna9td4YODfWtaWq8Pi_EjuEU/s72-w400-h400-c/FlyerMaker_05082020_012314.png" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7406859095869485833.post-2158657466350172214</guid><pubDate>Sun, 26 May 2024 21:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2024-05-26T14:17:34.881-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">AIRLINE</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">BUSINESS</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">HOTEL</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">NEWS</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">REALESTATE</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">TRAVEL</category><title>Travel Rewards Program Awards</title><description><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8quXegvA-0j2gFdIGKMiqIQuyQVfFnG1QyK4f9JkkD45daqZ3KbX5Wa9wnKtcwixu4BdWYNBrHBxlNAdwqkNNBXbrz77L86q3wV3M_QqL3c87364tVpBTPJdaVRaZ1HVeKbs_EyStx0aBN20SjDc7gGGaNC-_V_V2d9OTeK35Yivukertpd1d784ECcU/s2400/IMG_20200804_013906_136.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Travel Rewards Program Awards" border="0" data-original-height="1260" data-original-width="2400" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8quXegvA-0j2gFdIGKMiqIQuyQVfFnG1QyK4f9JkkD45daqZ3KbX5Wa9wnKtcwixu4BdWYNBrHBxlNAdwqkNNBXbrz77L86q3wV3M_QqL3c87364tVpBTPJdaVRaZ1HVeKbs_EyStx0aBN20SjDc7gGGaNC-_V_V2d9OTeK35Yivukertpd1d784ECcU/w400-h210/IMG_20200804_013906_136.jpg" title="Travel Rewards Program Awards" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><b><br /></b></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>&nbsp;U.S. News Travel Rewards Program Awards</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>U.S. News has identified the best airline and hotel rewards programs; programs that score in the top 30% receive a U.S. News Best Travel Rewards Program award.

This score represents our editors' analysis of a ship's atmosphere, facilities, activities, cabins, cuisine, and service.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Traveler Rating (50% weight): A ship's traveler rating is provided under license by Cruiseline.com. Reviewers assign a rating between 1 and 5 based on their level of satisfaction with their cruise experience.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Health Rating (20% weight): A ship's health rating is based on sanitation inspection scores published by the Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Individual ship inspection reports can be found here. The CDC defines "Satisfactory Scores" as those that are 86 or above (out of a possible 100 points). A ship's Health Rating is the average of the vessel's individual inspection reports from the 22 months prior to the calculation of the U.S. News Best Cruises rankings. For our rankings, CDC scores are translated to a five-point scale as follows: Vessels with average CDC ratings greater than 97.5 received a score of 5; vessels with average CDC ratings greater than 95 and up to 97.5 received a score of 4.5; vessels with average CDC scores greater than 92.5 and up to 95 received a score of 4; vessels with average CDC scores greater than 90 and up to 92.5 received a score of 3.5; vessels with average CDC scores greater than 87.5 and up to 90 received a score of 3; vessels with average ratings greater than 85.1 and up to 87.5 received a score of 2.5 and vessels with an average CDC rating of 85.1 or lower received a score of 1. If a ship has not received a health inspection score within the past 22 months, the average Health Rating of all CDC-rated ships within the cruise line is used as a proxy in the calculation of the ship's Overall Rating. (Note: Virgin Voyages provided U.S. News with a thorough health report conducted by a private company, which was used to evaluate the cruise line and assign a health rating at this time.)</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>A cruise line's Overall Rating is calculated as the average of its ship's overall ratings.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Filtering Lists by Criteria:</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Cutoff points and other criteria are used to identify cruise ships or cruise lines that qualify for a given ranking list.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Traveler Type: Each cruise ship and cruise line's placement on our traveler-type cruise rankings take into account the aggregate traveler rating among specific types of travelers. Cruise ships and lines with the highest Overall Ratings and the greatest approval rating among a certain traveler type (e.g., families), appear on such lists. To qualify for a cruise ship traveler-type ranking list, a ship had to have a minimum of 10 total guest reviews, and a certain percentage of reviews had to come from the specified traveler type; the percentage required varies by list.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Region: We rank the best cruise ships in seven popular regions: Alaska, Europe, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Mexico, the Pacific, and Hawaii. We also rank the Best Cruise Lines in the Caribbean and Best Cruise Lines in the Mediterranean. Regional scores are assigned based on a percentage of itineraries a ship has in each of these regions over a 24-month basis. The ship-level regional scores are updated as new information is made available; however, the list of the Best Cruise Lines in the Caribbean and the Best Cruise Lines in the Mediterranean will only be updated once a year.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Price Class: A cruise ship's price class rating is based on its average nightly base fare. Ships with average nightly balcony rates of $450 or more are rated 5; average nightly balcony rates of $350 to $449 are rated 4; average nightly balcony rates of $250 to $349 are rated 3; ships with average nightly balcony rates of $150 to $249 are rated 2, ships with average nightly balcony rates below $150 are rated 1. Ocean view rates are also considered at the rates above, minus $50 per night. Cruise lines with average price class ratings of 3.5 and above are included in the Best Luxury Cruise Lines rankings.

Some cruise ship rankings are tailored to specific interests using filter criteria, and these are still rank-ordered by Overall Rating. The overall rating is a numerical score that may include several decimal points; however, we represent this as a graphical star rating rounded to the nearest half-star. As a result, two cruise ships that show the same graphical star representation may have slightly different underlying ratings. The ranking reflects the specific underlying rating and not the rounded graphical star rating.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>NOTE: Cruise ship rankings are updated regularly. As new vessels are launched and additional inspection scores and guest reviews become available, they are added to our rankings and affect how specific ships stack up against one another.

And in the Internet Age, many people feel they can handle a lot of the pro’s services — from perusing listings to drawing up contracts — on their own.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">If you’re the homeowner, the process is called FSBO (for sale by owner). There are a variety of ways to do it. Sellers can consider working with an iBuyer, an online platform that relies on big data and statistical tools, such as home valuation models, to make a quick offer to buy your home. Opendoor and Offerpad are two examples of these apps.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">There are also physical companies located around the U.S. that try to buy homes quickly and cheaply to renovate and resell.

Don’t be afraid to interview a potential agent and ask questions before hiring them.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Another good way to find a good agent is through a referral. If you know someone who recently bought or sold a home, ask how their experience with their agent was. If their agent was skilled and easy to work with, you might try to hire them.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Before you settle on an agent, it’s also a good idea to do some background research. Look for online reviews to see if there are any red flags. You could also consider checking your state’s real estate licensing website to make sure their license is valid and up to date, and that there are no records of disciplinary action.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">How does a real estate agent differ for buyers and sellers?</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Real estate agents serve different purposes for both buyers and sellers. While in both cases, agents serve as a go-between with the other party and can assist with negotiations, they have different tasks.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For example, a buyer’s agent will help find homes to tour and come up with a price when the buyer decides they want to make an offer. Once the home’s in contract, they might help find real estate attorneys, home inspectors, and other professionals.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">On the other hand, a seller’s agent (aka a listing agent) will help the seller price and advertise their home, get it ready for showings, and schedule open houses.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">How are real estate agents compensated?</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Real estate agents are compensated on a commission basis. That means that they only get paid when they close a deal.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Typically, the seller of a home pays the commission, which is then split between the buyer’s agent and the seller’s agent. Typical commissions are about 5 or 6 So if a home sells for $300,000, the seller can expect to pay $15,000 to $18,000 in commissions.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Usually, the broker that employs each agent will receive the commission, take a cut, then give the remainder to the agent.\</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Licensing and requirements</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Real estate agents typically need to have a license to work in a jurisdiction. The licensure requirements can vary from state to state but usually mandate that candidates be at least 18 years old, complete a number of hours of real estate education courses (plus a pre-licensing course from an accredited real estate licensing school), and pass a licensing exam, according to the BLS.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Types of real estate agents</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">There are multiple types of real estate agents.
