What's Typical for a Realtor's Commercial Lease Commission?
At the higher end I've read anything from 3-5% of the gross value of the lease over the full term (so 5% commission on $110,000 annual gross rent over 10 year term would be $55,000).

At the lower end I've read half month's rent (so \~$4,500 on that same deal).

What the heckle is going on with these ranges? Any explanation? I'm from Toronto if that matters.

Also, if it's a net lease, would that "gross value" include TMI or not?

Thanks.
