Any commission can be negotiated, of course, and you generally get what you pay for. Most important is finding an agent that most aligns with your goals.

Along with the other comments, best to reach out to a local agent that knows your neighborhood and area well. Listing prices vary greatly based on locale.

To echo the others, no there are no realtor fees when buying. When you buy, the seller covers realtor costs to help offset how high some of the costs of buying can be for the buyer in obtaining a loan.
