[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP enlisted an agent's services for some period of time and now wants to change the [b]compensation arrangement mid-stream[/b]. No harm in asking for a rebate, but that should have been done at the outset. [/quote]

Are you not able to read English ??? He clearly wrote that his arrangement has expired.

[i]Actually "at this point" our agreement has expired. So we could part ways if I chose to do that. I want to write-up and sign a new agreement with him, but this time I'm considering asking for a rebate. He still will get a substantial commission out of the deal. [/i][/quote]

I read English just fine. Are you not able to have common sense? The agent has already invested a fair amount of time in him and now he wants to reduce the compensation as a condition to continue working together. That's his right, but it's a pretty shitty thing to do and if I were the agent as a matter of principle I'd tell him to get lost and bad mouth him to all of my colleagues.

No, I'm not an agent. I'm just appalled at the OP's attitude.

But I have no patience for people who like to move goalposts. It's small. [/quote]
But the agent knew that there was a timeframe as part of the agreement and didn’t deliver. [/quote]

And the buyer is a liar. The agent probably thinks he's already wasted enough time on him, why do more work for less comp? I'd dump OP if I were an agent and got this request. But I understand the concept of sunk costs.[/quote]
