Average brokerage fee?

If you're not in too much of a rush, most people start out by putting
their plane in trade-a-plane. Its that yellow newspaper thing that you
see in all the FBOs. Its easily the most printed aviation periodical
in the world. You can also view it on the web for a yearly fee.

I've been scanning the 'net to get an idea of an average brokerage fee for
an aircraft (1968 Cherokee 140) valued in the $20,000 to $25,000 range. My
expectation would be advertising the aircraft and acting as initial point of
contact. The aircraft would need to be sold from my home base, not from the
brokerage firm's home base.

I note some agencies provide flat fee based on type of aircraft or selling
price and some do the work for a percentage. I see percentages ranging
from 2.9% to 10%, with 5% being average. Can anyone confirm this as a
reasonable fee?

I'm located in British Columbia, Canada.
