VARIABLE COMMISSION RATE BASED ON VOLUME. Stepped commission rates based on volume sold are also very popular in the furniture industry.

A traditional real estate sales agreement involves the services of a real estate agent, who represents the seller under the supervision of a real estate brokerage. The average real estate commission is 6 percent of the home's sale price but can be higher or lower depending on the area and sales situation. In the case of a $200,000 home with a 6 percent commission rate, the real estate agent's commission would total $12,000. The real estate agent does not get paid until the house sale transaction closes.
