5-6% of the purchase price still seems like a huge amount. Of course I don’t really know how many houses decent agents tend to sell per year.

It's highly variable.

Sample of 1, but my agent was frequently closing several homes/week during peak season (Spring, early Summer). At the time (2017), typical listing would be $500-$1 million (Fairfax County, VA).

So I'd guess 20-30/year for her.

Broker keeps 30-50% of the commission.

So, a good agent in NoVA is probably making $250-$500k/year (but has to pay their own payroll taxes and stuff out of that, IIRC).
