Seller's agent fee

[Kara Markowski]

I asked the real estate agent who helped us purchase our home to assist with listing it for sale in the next few months. He sent a contract with a 5 1/2 % fee. From my limited 'Googling' of my local area, I know that is high but what realistically should a seller's agent ask for / make from selling our home? For reference, the home is a 4 BR (plus office) and 3 full bath just under 3000 square feet single story with 1/2 acre yard brick fence w'pool located in a nice neighborhood with very low crime and I am hoping to sell for at least 650k.
