The seller of a home does not receive a commission. If you are referring to the real estate listing agent who assists the seller in selling the home, it can vary depending on what is negotiated. In the US 3% is fairly typical in most areas, but it is not unheard of for less of a commission to be paid.
Typically the commission is paid by the seller, which the buyer's agent & seller's agent split in half. If you are paying the agent a commission, he or she is getting paid twice. If I were you, I would look for another agent that will accept the commission that is being paid by the seller.
Standard commission in the US is 3% to selling agent, 3% to listing agent. The seller pays the commission.
Typically, the seller pays the real estate commission, which is then split between the seller's and buyer's agents. However, in some cases, the buyer may be responsible for a portion of the commission, especially if they are working with a buyer's agent. It's important for buyers to clarify the commission structure with their agent and understand any potential costs involved in the transaction.

Typically, when a realtor helps you buy a house, you do not pay them a commission directly. Instead, the commission is usually paid by the seller, and it is split between the seller's agent and the buyer's agent. This means that, as a buyer, your costs are generally focused on the purchase price and other closing costs rather than the realtor's commission. However, it's important to clarify the terms with your realtor, as practices can vary by region.
In most cases, they make a percentage of the sale price (called a commission), and that percentage varies. Usually, both the buyer and the seller have an agent, and both get a commission. If the same agent represents both buyer and seller, he gets a double commission. You should call individual real estate firms to find out how much commission they give their agents.

A commission agent in country A can secure timely payment by establishing a clear contractual agreement with the overseas seller from country B, outlining the payment terms and conditions for the commission. Additionally, the agent could request a letter of credit or an escrow arrangement, which ensures that funds are set aside for the commission once the seller receives payment from the buyer in country C. This minimizes the risk of non-payment and provides a structured process for receiving the commission promptly.
A realtor's commission rate is always negotiable. The standard/usual rate is 3% for the buyer's agent and 3% for the seller's agent. The seller always pays the realtor's commission, unless otherwise negotiated in the sales contract of the home.
