typical estate agent selling fees
For residential homes, the commission paid to the listing agent is typically about 5-6%. Beyond this general bulge, there is a broader range between 4-7% that covers most types of properties. A majority of the time, both buyer and seller agent will agree to an even split of the commissions amongst themselves.here really are no standard commissions anymore, as agents are willing to do less work for less commission (discount brokers as some would call them). It most cases, you get exactley what you pay for, so I would suggest interviewing 2 or 3 agents that are actively selling real estate in your area.
