Agent Fees on CRE?

[Andrew Kniffin]

Hello all-

I am looking at 10-25 unit properties.  I plan to avoid having an agent, since I feel comfortable with understanding valuations, and want to be able to provide a better value proposition to the Seller by avoiding the Buyer's Agent's commission. 

I am assuming that the CRE market for Agent's fees is the same as residential RE: ~3% for Buyer's Agent, and ~3% for Seller's Agent, both paid out of the proceeds of the sale from Buyer.

If true, then on a $500,000 property, my bid is $15,000 more valuable to a Seller than another person's bid with the same purchase price.  (3% of $500k = $15k.)

Am I thinking about this right? Or, am I making a bad assumption in translating residential RE to CRE?

Thanks!
