Real Estate Commission Rate for commercial property?
I was wondering what the average/reasonable commission rate for a Realtor would be on a piece of semi-developed commercial property but with no actual building structure on it yet. The infrastructure (utility lines and parking) for an office to be built is already in place.
I've heard home market commissions are anywhere from 5% to 7%, but I'm wondering if it should be higher since it is a commercial property. Currently the offer is for 8% commission and I was wondering if it should be bargained down to a lower commission rate. If you have any experience with this or know of any websites that would be great.
Thanks for your help!
Great answer Rebecca. Just to give more details about the property, it is located in the suburb area surrounding Atlanta.
I've also heard 7/5% "flex" commission rates that work by having the first $100,000 of the property is 7% commission and then 5% commission on the remaining balance. What do you all think? Perhaps a 8/6% flex rate instead since it is a commercial property? Or should I just try to bargain down to a 7% flat commission rate?

Commissions vary from office to office, and in different parts of the country. The commission percentage for land and commercial property is often higher than the commission due on the sale of a home.
The average in my state for residential single family homes is from 5 - 6 percent, so 8% is not unreasonable for partially developed property, although it may be wise to bargain down to 7.5 - 7% if you can. Depending on where you're located, the real estate market has slowed or stopped considerably, leaving sellers with unsold properties, whether they are developed or not.

One it depends on the developer or the Real Estate company that is building the property. Most of our brokers only made 4% depending on the amount of square footage rented. Anything above 40,000 sq ft usually dropped the commission down to 2%. Most Real Estate companies will pay 1/2 upon execution of the lease and the second 1/2 after 6 months or a year.
Commercial properties commission is not necessarily higher than home sales, it all depends on how much the Real Estate company is willing to pay a broker for leasing out their commercial office space.

Commercial commissions are usually lower because the value of the property is normally higher. However, the rate usually changes depending on how many real estate brokers are involved. For example, a property my team is currently selling will pay out a 4% commission to us if we sell to a self-represented party. If another broker brings us the deal, we drop to 3% and the procurring broker gets 3%.

Financier expenses can be a touch of befuddling, particularly in the event that it is your first time attempting to comprehend them yet I guarantee it is less demanding than seventh grade variable based math… or perhaps twelfth grade analytics. The most essential thing to recollect is that Brokerage Fees are debatable and might be unique in relation to organization to organization or even operators by specialists. It is a smart thought to get the transactions finished before an offer to purchase/offer or rent is finished. An average business commission can be separated into two primary classes, Sale and Lease.
Computing a Sale expense is simple. "Anything left at the end ought to be sent to the agent." (after all we are the intermediaries). Really, a normal Sale financier charge for business property is around 6% of the settled upon deals cost, and is paid at the season of shutting. At the point when offering your property one of two situations can happen; 1) The property can be sold specifically to a Buyer by the posting agent (in house) or, 2)The property can be sold with the help of a co-intermediary. In the occasion there is assistance from an outside business firm, the 6% financier expense will be part 50/50 between the two gatherings, but Goldmine Developer charge less rate of commission see more on http://www.goldminedevelopers.net/

Yeah Totally Agree with Rebecca that Commission varies from office to office in various countries. Different Builders had their different slabs of commission as DLF gives 1% of commission on their properties whereas Lotus Greens are offering 3%-5% of Commissions to the brokers.
