In Brazil it is 6%, some agents used to charge even 8% or 10% but the trend is towards 5% (since real estate became expensive here as well in the last 12 years).

Brazil is pretty cheap in that regard, what is expensive there are property taxes.

A friend of mine used to live in Brazil and he payed close to half a percent.
