if anything then I would set a flat fee to pay them for their service and then if you do find a property that offers buyers agents money, in which almost all I have seen still do...then I would have the title company back out the amount you decided on and the agent gets the remainder of the amount of commission that's left over. 

@Alec Jacobs I have basic low/no fee business checking accounts.

The new buyer puts down 10% as the option fee, ($50,000 fee to our buyer) in this case, and we make the rate 10% to the new buyer for the monthly payment. 

If you get cat urine in the house, it can cost you 10x the pet fee to mitigate the odor.

If you no longer have business operations in the old state, forming a new LLC in the new state and dissolving the old one may simplify compliance and tax obligations.Some states impose franchise taxes and annual fees that could make one option more cost-effective than the other.

A fee well spent for some types of investors.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

You also implied that we don't specifically price deals for our clients and the client's "rates and fees will be much higher".

Too many are locking up properties at retail prices and tacking on outrageous assignment fees, leaving no room for investors to profit.
