[quote=Anonymous]I would not expect a realtor from a major brokerage to give you much of a discount on sellers commission or even consider a rebate on the buyers commission. My guess is the partners in these major realtor firms and the higher powers that be will not allow it and are likely in understanding with each other and other firms that if they go this route the flood gates will open and they will see the cash cow model that makes them easy money disappear.

I bet the average realtor would consider some greater discounts on commissions/rebates in the right circumstances / right client, but I don’t think they are really allowed when associated with a major firm.

You likely have to find an independent agent separate from the major firms. They are much less common. They don’t pop up on internet searches right away. Their names are not household names. My guess is they don’t spend much on marketing. They probably get most business from referrals and word of mouth.

So don’t be surprised if you get a no or minimal discount when you ask for one from a regular agent at a major firm. [/quote]
