The commission on selling a house is typically no different than the commission structure you'd encounter when selling a condo, townhouse or any other residential property.

In a traditional listing arrangement, the sellers signs an exclusive right to sell listing agreement where he or she agrees to pay a fixed percentage of the sale price in commission to the seller's agent upon a sale.

This commission rate can vary, but is often 6% which is what you hear about on television and on the news. This commission is paid regardless of whether the buyer has a buyer's agent or not, as the listing agreement only vaguely specifies that the seller's broker may be obligated to co-broke (i.e. split commission) with cooperating buyer's brokers per local MLS rules.

What these MLS rules typically stipulate is that the total commission is co-broked at least equally in favor of the buyer's agent. What you see most common is actually an equal co-broking, where the commission is split 50/50 if the buyer has an agent.

As a result, at closing the seller may find him or herself writing a check for all 6% to the seller's broker, or 3% to the seller's broker and 3% to the buyer's broker. Either way, the seller pays the same commission on the sale.
