I think the answer in that occasion was 25% of the receiving agent's commission.But that may have been the standard for agents within that company/umbrella (e.g., REMax, that might have been it but I don't recall).My guess is that the true answer is that, like commissions in general, there is no "standard" and it's whatever you can negotiate.I'd recommend asking your current broker or, if you don't have a great relationship with them, the broker you end up moving your license under.

Trying to get this added to our umbrella policy but noone will provide this as a stand alone item.

The flip side is you protect yourself by keeping your properties in good repair, having decent landlord insurance, and adding a $1M (or more) umbrella policy.

Also getting an umbrella coverage is cheaper sometimes than an LLC cost so that may be something to look into for the future. 

One alternative is the use of a umbrella policy.......no?  

I'm also getting concerned about liability insurance...any recommendations on umbrella policies?

Make sure you obtain the proper insurance policies - landlord + personal umbrella - and in 99 out of 100 cases you will be set without additional annual fees and tax filing headaches.   

Joe will you speak more about how an umbrella policy works?

If I where to get an umbrella policy on a rental property( I currently have one on my personal home) would that be sufficient?

What's the best place to look for, and is it better to add an umbrella policy on top of it?
