Due to antitrust laws, there is no fixed / standard percentage commission rate that is applicable to commercial real estate lease transactions. Just as with residential real estate transactions, commission rates are often agreed between the landlord and the listing broker who splits the commission with the procuring broker(s) representing the tenants / lessees. A major difference with commercial leases is that the commission is usually based on the gross lease value paid to the landlord over the term of the lease which term typically is executed for multiple years. The commission can also be tiered depending on the lease value and the term (length) of the lease.
