Average Realtor Commission
Can anyone give me an idea of how much the average Realtor makes in commission for a property?
(I know it depends on how much the property sells for... but can you guys give me an approximate % of sale price or dollar value?)

We do the same thing. On a typical $120K resale, we'll offer the selling agent 3% + $1500, which gets agents in this price range VERY excited...
Like you said, Buyer's Agents are worth every penny and not someplace you should skimp...
