In Brazil, 'comissão padrão' is a well-established concept in real estate, retail, and financial services. The 6% standard commission in real estate is widely recognized, though increasingly negotiable. In the USA, standard commissions vary significantly by industry—real estate typically ranges 5-6%, while securities and insurance may differ. Understanding local commission structures is crucial for both service providers and clients in contract negotiations.
