Commission on commercial lease

[Nancy Denton]

I am an agent who's brought a tenant to a commercial broker. My customer likes the property and his partner will see it in a few weeks. When do I discuss commission with the broker, and what is typically the commission on a commercial lease in Florida?

Commissions usually vary 5%-6% on average and are paid for the entire length of the lease (total amount of rent added up for all years) in most cases.
