Gone are the days when agents keep all the commission. You don't get if you don't ask.

You need to ask for some credit on these easy deals from the buying agents. I have done it several times and they offer it back when asked.

Can’t even be bothered to google OP?

No need for multiple comments as PP answered the question. Enjoy your lame conspiracy theories elsewhere.

Thank you!

Wow only one comment. That is very telling.

In looking over the paperwork from my house sale last year, I saw that our buyer's agent made about $25,000 representing us in our purchase. How much of that does he/she actually see? i.e. what goes to the real estate firm vs. what did he/she earn for them themselves? (this is not a post to complain about realtor compensation....I am just nosy/curious)
