Is it common to try and negotiate it? The house is probably worth about 79k.

6% which they'll split with the other realtor. But everything is negotiable.

You often get what you pay for. If you'd like to negotiate, that's fine.
1 - You'll sell your house for best price, and fast. 7% or 8%. I'll keep only 3% and offer either 4% or 5% to the buyer's agent. You get a great, knowledgeable Realtor on your side, and on the other side, maybe just an agent who wants to make the deal close.
2 - Sell your house for fair market value, average to better than average time frame, best Realtor available to represent you. 6% total. Split 3% and 3%.
3 - You market your house FSBO. Find a buyer. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING OR PROMISE ANYTHING. I'll take it from there, and represent you, and make sure it closes. 4% total.

6-7 % ...you can try to negotiate, but most will not...3% goes to the listing agent, 3 to the selling agent.....and a big chunk of both or those go to the company they work for.....which is why it's so much. realtors have to work hard and only walk away with prob a fraction of that 6%.
