Normal transactions usually are anywhere from 5.5% to 6%, half goes to the listing agent and half goes to the buyers agent, you can negotiate your fee to the listing agent but not the buyers agent. No one in their right mind would ever pay 4% to the listing agent, so your suggestion shows you don't know what you're talking about.
Well dumbass, I know ALL of that. And when I bought my house, the fee was 4%. Half to the buyers agent, half to the sellers. The sellers agent agreed to 4%, therefore my real estate agent gets HALF. The commission is listed right there in the MLS listings that my real estate agent brought to me. She agrees to half of the fee, and the fee is set before she ever comes into the picture.

So, you have just told me a bunch of shit I already knew, and proved that my very first statement was 100% correct and that you are just a jackass.
