Dear KenCyn,
It varies between brokers and is something you can negotiate with your Agent.

Commission is is negotiable and the is not a standard rate. However the popular rate is 6%, of the sale price and 3% of which goes to the buyer's agent. Good luck,

There is no standard rate. However, I usually create a net sheet for seller, direct from escrow, so the seller can review all closing costs. I usually see between 7%-9% depending on the negotiated agent fees.
Hope this helps,

On Zillow?
FREE!
In the MLS with a flat-fee broker and no other services except maybe a lock-box and answering of phone calls?
Probably about $500 to $600.
Don't forget, the "FULL" cost of changing ownership from one house to a different house usually comes to about 16% to 25% after you include your time and other costs. Realtor fees are only a fraction of the total cost.

You and the realtor will decide on the commission. It is usually 6%. Tarbell offers the e-advantage to market and sell your home. If you are planning to list your home I would be more than happy to earn your business. Let me know if you have any questions.

There is not a standard rate, but the ongoing rate is about 6%, half of which goes to the buyer's agent. Try not to use "discount brokers" who offer less than 5% as they provide discounted service and try to get their own buyer so they can earn the entire commission. They will block other agents from bringing in a buyer to the table.

Commission is negotiable, but the most common rate you will see is 6%.

There is NO SUCH THING as a standard commission, and to suggest so is at peril of anti-trust rules kicking in. All commissions are open to negotiation.

If you are talking about comission - it is 5%.





What is the standard rate to list a home in Los Angeles, CA?
