I live in the Dallas Texas area, and I'm going to sell my house.  I've had a
real estate team look at my house (they're just two ladies who work
together), and I like them, but they charge a 6% fee once the house is sold.
So if I sell the house for 90,000, they get $5,400.  I don't mine paying a
fee because I've not a clue on how to sell the house and I'm wanting to sell
it now not later.

My question is this:  If I had an single agent selling the house (not a
team) would the fee only be 3%?  Or is the 6% standard for the Dallas area?
