Like everything Realtor commission is negotiable.... As others have noted it can have effects on how hard your realtor works for you.

So other things to think about. Is your realtor willing to sacrifice some of there commission to get a sale over the edge... If they are contracted for 6% they may be willing to drop to 5% or even 4% to get a deal to go through. However if they are contracted to 4% the likely hood that they would do that is not as likely.

Personally in this day and age, I would first try and market the place myself and simply work with a real estate attorney to do the closing.
