Epidemiology is the study of health in populations to understand the causes and patterns of health and illness. The Epidemiology Program, a research division of VA's Office of Patient Care Services, conducts research studies and surveillance (the collection and analysis of data) on the health of Veterans. The focus is primarily on Veterans who served in combat deployments and those who use VA health care facilities.
The latest thorough assessment of real estate commission fees was released in 2011 by Inman News. After polling hundreds of real estate brokers and agents, their data show that Realtor commissions for each real estate agent involved in a real estate transaction average between 2% and 3%.
For example, if a seller agrees to pay 6 percent commission and lists the home for $100,000 but sells it for $90,000, the listing Realtor's broker gets 6 percent of $90,000. The listing broker generally splits the commission between the listing agent and the buyer's agent, minus the broker's fees.
