The average commission rate is 2.35% (around $14,000 on a median-priced home). Rates often reflect campaign length and the scope of marketing; metro areas typically allow for tighter margins because of higher property values and denser competition, while regional markets may have higher rates to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach.
