[quote user=DiscoChick]Quick question are realtor fees negotiable?
Yes they are, although most competent realtors will tell you that their fee is pretty firm, around X% on the first $100,000 and then Y % on anything above $100,000, with X being around 5-7% and Y being around 3%.
So if the house is $300,000 expect to pay around $12,000 (6k plus 6k).
Lower % for very large properties, say $1M plus .
