[quote=Steve][quote=Anonymous]We found a house and want to make an offer. Used Redfin last time and it was okay but not great. Have a realtor that a friend recommended. Can we negotiate something with the agent? Anyone have experience with this? It’s not like she would have to go around and show us tons of properties. We just need her to get the offer ready and deal with the seller’s agent. What would be reasonable? 2%?[/quote] Pretty easy: "Hi X, I've toured 1234 Main St and I'd like to put in an offer at $X. Would you be willing to represent me on this transaction for a Y% rebate?" I've done this arrangement for a few buyers. In a competitive environment you'll still want to find an agent that's got a decent reputation among other agents. The offer has to be presented well. If you're offering well over list price and waiving contingencies then it matters less.[/quote]
