Investment Sale Commission

Somewhat stupid question, but this isn't a space I play in very often, so hoping someone has some insight. What is a market brokerage commission on a "sub-institutional" investment sale? $20-50M price, office/industrial, major 2ndary market (Phoenix/San Diego/Austin).

I thinks this really depends on "sub" institutional it really is.... If this is still "class B" office/industrial with stabilized rent rolls (can have some vacancy/value-add angle)... I think you could find legit brokers at major firms who would take this for 1%, I mean a $200-$500k pay day is plenty. In some markets, you may find those willing to take at 75 bps or even 50 bps (not sure if a good idea, but its a competitive world). 

If this is class C or heavily vacant or other wise more "non" institutional, then I think 1% is prob a floor and you should budget up to 3% with some incentives. 

This price range is still pretty big regardless of asset class, so I think you still get a pretty competitive rate unless really sketchy on some dimension (like will be super hard to sell)
