[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i dont understand why you would not use your agent for this....  it is the seller paying the commission not the buyer.  yes in theory you could say "hey seller lower the price 3% because i have no agent".... but how do you know that the agent could not have negotiated you a better price, thus saving you t hat 3% anyway?

i would just negotiate for the buyer agent to lower their rate or pay a flat fee for writing this specific contract on the house you live in.  something in the buyer agrement like  "3% commission unless buyer buys XYZ home, in which agent will credit 50% of commission to buyer" or something like that.

a real estate attorney could work too, and i dont know how washington state works, your agent may still be allowed to get the 3% if you have an agreement...[/quote]

Holy smokes.  If we are buying a $800-900K house, even 1% IS A TON OF MONEY.  I am calling the agent to ask if she can do it for a flat fee.

LAWYERS OUT THERE:  How much would you charge to draw up a contract offer?

I don't want any help with the negotiation process.  I just want the forms drawn up right, that's all...   We are dealing directly with the landlord, as we always have.[/quote]
