Real Estate Brokers
What fee will I pay on the sale of my home?
Typically, real estate firms charge 5 to 7 percent of the sale price. On some higher-priced homes, a firm may charge the full commission on the first $100,000 or $200,000 and a lower percentage of any amount above that price. If the agency that lists the home is also the agency that sells it, the commission is shared by the agency and the individual agent who actually handled the sale. If the listing firm and the selling firm are different, the commission is shared by the two firms.
Keep in mind that all commission agreements are negotiable, particularly in a seller's market.
