[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how do you find an agent like this? We tried to sell our house last year but got no offers. A LOT was all the instability and uncertainty with the new administration. I’m unclear if my agent could’ve done more. When we signed, there wasnt really an option to negotiate rate (split 5% commission) as their boss/company set the rate.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't offer anything to the buyers' agent upfront.  Just evaluate offers on purchase price minus whatever concessions they are asking for, and choose the highest number with the greatest certainty of closing.

For a seller's agent, 1% is easily obtainable if you look around.  If you want to use some particular agent, they will probably be willing to go down to 2% or lower unless they're super busy. [/quote]

What agents are working for 1 percent? That is less than Redfin.[/quote]

None officially. But if you have an easy property to sell, you have leverage and can negotiate. Especially with an agent who is eager to break into your market. Play the game to your advantage. There is no set price for selling your house (some degree of tacit collusion exists out there but no commission percentages are set in stone). [/quote][/quote]

LOl! Their boss/company is not law and ofcourse they set rates that benefits them. negotiate hard and they all come down. If you go in with the fear or hesistance of your own then this is the kind of BS answer they would give you. Don't be naive please. [/quote]
