down from the previously combined 6 %
and down from the single R/E fee of 3% to the selling sales rep.

BUT up from a single rep, no buyers commission of the previous 3% generally agreed. .

Is the new arrangement working for the industry? I am leaning probably, but sample size 1, with my last sale 25 years ago and I don't remember the commission structure, so inconclusive.

@retiredguy123. . . I already know you won't pay the buyers commission. .
Soon realtors won’t exist. You can search, buy and sell on line. Like clothing purchased online, there will e resistance for a while. Eventually though, realtors will fade into the sunset.
