The cost of selling a house with a realtor typically ranges from 5 to 6% of the sales price of the home. The seller typically pays the commission, and the seller's agent will then split the commission with the buyer's agent. For example, if your realtor charges a 5% commission on your home sale, and the house sells for $200,000, the cost of selling with a realtor would be $10,000. On the other hand, some homeowners prefer to sell a house without a realtor to save on commission costs. Real estate agents typically get a 6% cut of the sale as commission, 3% for the seller's agent and 3% for the buyer's agent. For a $350,000 listing, this would amount to $10,500 in commission fees. In the end, only 11% of sellers end up selling their home without a real estate agent.
