Hello,
People are funny when it comes to such things. I do not feel it was right of the brother, not at all!
My siblings fought over my fathers things, I left would not even be apart of it.
The sisters now know how the brother is, keep this in the back of there minds for the future.

Well, the proceeds from the sale of the home should be evenly divided among all siblings, assuming that was the parent's wishes.
If selling the home is part of your brother's job, then he went to some time, expense and skill in selling that home. He used skills that he uses in his job to negotiate a price. He paid for advertising the home on the market. That's his job. He should be compensated for it, he shouldn't have to spend his time and not get paid for it, even if he is doing a job for the family.
Talk with your brother, explain your feelings to him (without being emotional about it), and have him explain how he's figured his share of the proceeds from the sale of your parents home. Just realize, he does deserve to be paid for it.

money changes people...
but maybe your brother took a commission and compensation because he may have put in a lot of time, effort and money on his own part into getting that home ready to sell and actually going through the process of selling it... if he put in the work, he deserves some compensation...
if it's a greed thing, you guys need to confront him and set things straight or you will forever regret it...

Shortly after my grandmother died my Dad met a man with two siblings whose mother had also died. my grandmothers house was sold for about $600,000 and my dad and his five siblings inherited a little over $100,000 each. This man my dad met his mother's estate was valued at over $7 million. The man and his two siblings ended with about $1000 each, the rest went to the lawers and those three siblings will probably never speak to each other again. Get over you petty differences and love your family.

i don't know, but i have lived a similar situation.
my mother passed away and i was supposed to share her home with my sister, but my name was never put on the deed.. she moved her (dumb) boyfriend in and two of her kids, and they all proceeded to treat me as if i didn't exist.
Greedy people probably all get payback somewhere down the road... your brother will eventually.
