If you must go the 5% route, I would only consider giving the listing agent 2% and have the listing pay 3% to the selling agent. I will add you probably won't have much luck with that, however. Ask yourself: Is it really worth half a point to do that???

And are you willing and prepared to accept 1% less effort. Come on - really 1% is minimal to your bottom line, but could make the difference between showing or not to a REALTOR.
