The usual rate when selling a home is five percent. This is then split between your agent and the buyer's agent. Of course, you can try to sell your home "by owner", in which case you would pay nothing.

How much one pays in realtor commission varies. The variables include your local market, if the sales are steady they will be less like to come down on their fees. But there is always room to ak for a change, the rates can vary from 5 to 15%.

Usually the going rate on commission to a real estate agent is anywhere from 3 to 6 percent. It can be discussed upfront. Usually you will pay the full 6 percent if the agent handles the buyer and seller.

that depends on the realtor. the better the realtors reputation the more you'll end up paying for sure. But on average id say around 6-9 percent commission. Too much really but worth it in the end. Too messy to sell on your own.

The normal realtor fee is between 2 and 4 percent, which can be alot depending on the price of the house. There are some companies that have a set fee for selling a house so shop and compare.
