Agent Commision

[Muks M.]

What is the max commission (both sides) you would pay as a seller ? Would you buy the argument from your agent that paying less than 3% (say 2.5%) to buyer agent would lower down the marketability of your home ?

@Muks M. Me personally, I am OK with 6% for properties less than $500k, above that I would look for 5% if it was normal in my area.  If not, I would not do it. 

Buyers agents will see the commission, and might be less interested in showing your property.
