I think that the commissions are out of line.
I read were there is a new agency that charges a flat rat of $3.500. to sell your home. I hope that is the future of the
Agents in my city charge 6% ....$15,000 for a home that sells for $250,00.00 the average selling price. of homes in my city. They have a strong association that more or less enforces the 6% charge.

How Flat Fee Works
For Buyers:
We provide all of the services that other buyer agents do in Vermont, but unlike other agents we rebate a portion of every check we receive as a buyer's agent from the seller to you. The amount of the rebate is based upon the price of the home. We charge $3,500 or 2% of the sales price, whichever is less, and rebate the rest of our commission to you.
Here is an example with $3,500:
You purchase a home for $250,000. The seller gives us a check for $7,500 at the closing for being your agent. We deposit the seller's check and then cut a rebate check to you for $4,000.
Here is an example with 2%:
You purchase a home for $135,000. The seller gives us a check for $4,050 at the closing for being your agent. We deposit the check and then cut a rebate check to you for $1,350.
