Most real estate agents in Washington get paid through commissions. Commissions are typically calculated as a percentage of a property\u2019s sale price, though some brokerages will charge a flat fee. The average combined agent commission<\/a> rate nationwide is 5.8% of the home sale price, according to HomeLight\u2019s real estate transaction data of thousands of home sales each year. This combined rate covers both sides of the transaction. How does that compare to the average real estate commission rate in Washington?<\/p>\n

In this post, we\u2019ll help you determine how much commission you might pay on your Washington home sale, and what options are available to earn the highest proceeds possible.<\/p>\n

What’s the average real estate commission in Washington?<\/h2>\n

According to top-performing Tacoma real estate agent Kris Shook<\/a>, listing-agent commissions in Washington commonly range from 2.5% to 3%. Sellers who also agree to cover the buyer’s agent commission<\/a> could pay a combined 5% to 6%, depending on the negotiated rates.<\/p>\n

On a home selling for $645,200, that amounts to approximately $16,130\u2013$38,712 in total commissions, depending on which fees the seller agrees to pay.<\/p>\n

On a property worth the current statewide median home sale price of $645,200<\/a>, that amounts to $16,130\u2013$38,712 in commission costs.<\/p>\n

Washington updated its real estate brokerage rules in January 2024<\/a>, followed by nationwide industry changes<\/a> that took effect in August 2024. Buyers and sellers now negotiate their agents’ compensation through written agreements. Sellers can still choose to cover some or all of the buyer’s agent fee, but they are not required to do so. All commissions are negotiable.<\/p>\n

The seller\u2019s agent typically takes 2.5% to 3% commission. Shook, who works with 77% more single-family homes than the average Tacoma agent, adds that it\u2019s a similar rate for buyer\u2019s agents: \u201cI’m used to getting 2.5% to 3%. That’s kind of the common commission that we get as the buyer\u2019s agent: 2.5% to 3%.\u201d That makes up the estimate of 5%-6%.<\/p>\n

Using a statewide estimated average of 5.5%, here\u2019s a breakdown of how much you might pay in real estate commissions based on what a home sells for in six of the largest cities in Washington:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Still curious about commission rates in Washington? Here are the answers to common questions about real estate agent commissions:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Who pays real estate commission fees?<\/h2>\n

Traditionally, the seller paid the total real estate commission, which was then divided between the listing brokerage and buyer’s brokerage. Following industry rule changes in 2024, buyers and sellers in Washington negotiate their respective agent fees through written agreements. However, sellers can still agree to pay some or all of the buyer’s agent commission as part of the transaction. Who ultimately pays depends on the agreements and negotiated sale terms.<\/p>\n

According to a recent HomeLight Top Agent Insights report<\/a>, 57% of agents say that sellers covering the buyer’s agent fee is the most common seller concession that helps push the sale to the finish line.<\/p>\n

Shook explains, \u201cIt’s common that the seller pays it. That is not necessarily how it always goes, but I would say about 99.9 percent of the time that is how it is handled.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
