Is commercial real estate commission negotiable?

[James C]

I have had my commercial property listed wth two different agents. Honestly, both talked a good game and seems to be motivated by did little to market my property. I don't mind paying commission, however, 10% is the going rate from what I have heard and honestly, I feel it is a bit much, when I have done alot of marketing myself along with my wife. We even had the latest realtor tell us that certain businesses would not be interesting in our property due to size. However, when our contract was up, we marketed our property to some of these companies and even had one show up and like the lot, size and all. So, this is one example why I am asking. Thanks.
