There is a misconception about real estate agent commissions leading people to believe that there is an industry or market area standardized rate. That is incorrect. Commissions are and always have been negotiable.
You may be overwhelmed by the variety of real estate companies that offer different commission structures or fees for services. The real question is what are you getting for that commission? Please let this point sink in because regardless of brokerage size or brand recognition most agents are individual contractors. This means that in most cases the services being provided and the quality of those services are not standardized but determined by and paid for by the agent you hire.
If you choose to work with a Realtor, please email me and I'll send you a sheet of services as a guide for interviewing agents. What I provide as a standard service could be drastically different from the next agent. Another agent may charge you the same rate and not offer nearly the same services or quality.
Be judicious, when looking for a “deal”. Many fee-for-service brokerages and i-buyers can end up being more expensive when all is said and done.
