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%.
Generally, the fees involved when hiring a real estate agent are designed to cover their costs for advertising and marketing your property, while their commission is a percentage of the sale price that they get for your property. The average commission real estate agents charge varies between states and between metro vs. regional areas â the lowest is about 1.6% and the highest about 4%. Across the country the average charge is around 2% to 2.5% of the sale price of your home, or from $10,000 to $12,500 when selling a $500,000 house.
