What are the realtor fees in the state of Ohio?

Question

Sale price of the house is 134,900.

Answer 1

The commission in Pennsylvania, which is, I believe is the same in Ohio, is 7%.  BUT...you can negotiate it down to 6% and sometime 5%.  Some people don't realize that the commission is negotiable.  Right now we have 2 properties on the market.  One is at 5% and one is at 6%.  The Realtor started at 7%, but we got him down.  The one at 5% just sold, and the closing is tomorrow.  If you want to list a house, and the Real Estate agent won't negotiate the commission, look for someone else.

Answer 2

I'm in the Columbus area, but the answer is the same no matter what part of the world you live in:  a realtor's commission is negotiable.  Especially in this horrible housing market, any realtor who will not negotiate on commission is being unreasonable and is not someone I'd ever deal with.

Answer 3

In the Cincinnati area, it is 7%

Answer 4

There are a million agents. Bargain hard. /
