[quote=Anonymous]WHOA! Lots of realtors on this post early...or maybe the same person. I am not unhinged and not someone who has posted before about realtors having too much value. My main point is that it seems like this arrangement makes it more difficult for me, the current tenant, to buy the place since nothing is offered to a buyers agent (only in our case, for other buyers it would be 3%) and thus we would have to pay out of our pocket to have fair representation. To me, a 50/50 split would still make sense, so if owner wants to offer 4% it would be 2% to buyer agent and 2% to seller agent.

And, I'm preoccupied with this because how much commission the seller agent makes effects how much the owner asks for the home since he has to pay, and also because not using an agent or paying for one out of pocket may put us at a disadvantage. How is that hard to understand? Not saying realtor does no work , but no MLS listing, no open houses, no showings etc...that's a lot less work than a typical sale I'd think. [/quote]
