The closing costs do not go to the resale agent at all, they go to the closing agent and then much of the funds are dispersed. DVC gets $100 transfer, then there's recording fees. The rest goes to the closing company for deed prep, mailings, etc. Resale agents make their money from commisions for the seller of in some cases, up front listing charges. As you might guess, the companies with the up front charges aren't the good ones and they usually take the money and run. Most resale agents have a minimum, usually between $995 and $1500 though I've seen as low as $795 and as high as $2000. Most also take a percent if it's above the minimum, usually 12-15%. Since DVC is easy to sell, I don't know why most people would sell through an agent. That's not to say that the ones that specialize in DVC do anything wrong, they don't. They are great companies for the most part.
