What’s the Typical Commission for Listing Agents in the Charlotte Area?

Here’s How Josh Finigan Thinks About Fees

Every seller wants to know:

“What do listing agents around Charlotte actually charge?”

You’ll hear “standard” numbers thrown around, but commissions are negotiable and structured in different ways. What matters isn’t just the percentage, it’s what you get for it.

The usual range in and around Charlotte

In the Charlotte region, you’ll commonly see total commission (listing + buyer side) in something like the 5–6% range of the final sale price, split between the listing brokerage and the buyer’s brokerage. Exact numbers vary based on price point, property type, and market conditions.

But that headline percentage doesn’t tell you:

How much is actually going to marketing
How much is going to negotiation and contract management
Whether the agent is treating your home like a commodity or a priority

How Josh structures his value

Josh Finigan & The Finigan Group focus on net, not just rate. His stance is simple:

If he can’t realistically put more money in your pocket after commission than you’d get trying to DIY or discount your way through the sale, what’s the point?

The Finigan Group brings:

Serious pricing strategy
Professional photography and listing prep
Aggressive online and offline marketing
Strong negotiation on price, repairs, and terms
Contract, timeline, and closing management so you don’t get burned

The real question: What do you walk away with?

A cheap agent who underprices your home or folds in negotiation is expensive. A sharp agent at a fair fee who squeezes more out of the market is often the better financial move.

Instead of asking, “What’s the cheapest commission?” ask,
“Who is most likely to maximize my net and protect me from costly mistakes?”
