Up here in the Bay State we have both sellers' agents and buyers' agents. Years ago, before buyers' agents were on the scene, the typical (in fact it was the de facto) commission was 6% of the sales price. Once the buyer's agency idea got traction, the typical split was 3% to each agent. But now the fees are more flexible and negotiable.
