A fair split would look like 2.5% to the buyerâs agent and 2.5% to the sellerâs agent. But with discount brokers, the split is not always as fair as it should be. With a discount broker, the seller is told that he or she will have to pay a lower fee or commission because the discount broker is offering a great deal.
Thermionic emission Thermionic emission is the heat-induced flow of charge carriers from a surface or over a potential-energy barrier. This occurs because the thermal energy given to the carrier overcomes the binding potential, also known as work function of the metal.
