Most real estate agents charge a percentage of the sales price as their fee. We charge 6%. Nationwide that percentage runs from 3% to 10% generally. As a seller you want the commission that the listing agent offers in mls to be competitive... so don't just go for the lowest percent you can find in your local. Look for the agent that can demonstrate delivering excellence. A truly great agent can and will deliver more value than the entire commission....
As to the agents that charge less in any local... they know better than anyone else what they are worth.
