The average total real estate commission in Virginia is 5.5% to 5.7%<\/strong> of the home’s final sale price, split between the listing agent and the buyer’s agent. On a $400,000 home, that works out to $22,000 to $22,800 in fees, paid by the seller from closing proceeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia sets no fixed commission rate. Per the Virginia Real Estate Board licensing overview<\/a>, the state’s regulatory authority does not regulate commission amounts. Every rate is negotiable before you sign a listing agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide covers how commission works in Virginia, what the average rate costs in real dollars across common sale prices, what the 2024 NAR settlement changed, how VA loan buyers are now handled under rules updated in 2026, and how to reduce or avoid commission altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
