Commercial Lease Commission

[Mike C.]

Hey folks,

So, I have seen commercial agents and/or brokers receive commissions over the entire term of the lease agreement. For example, $500 per year for 20 year.  I was hoping someone could elaborate on this payout structure.  I mean is this typical because I was under impression total commission was due at signing of lease.  Is this a specific commercial property type that this pay structue is done with? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
