Are real estate commissions set by a rule or a standard rate?

Real estate commissions in Georgia are fully negotiable between each client and their own agent, not set by any rule, licensing board or standard percentage across the industry. Every agent, including Joel Boss, discusses and agrees on compensation directly with a client before representation begins, and that number can vary by property, service level and market. Asking directly about commission structure during an initial conversation is the only reliable way to know what a specific transaction will cost.
