We got that when buying, because the seller was so difficult both agents knew this was their only chance for a transaction!

I'd be happy with 1% but not any less. We got this back in 2008 and it was less common then.

Redfin sucks. I mean, it's not the worst agency out there, but it's probably in the bottom 25%.

You did good.

Up to 1.5%

For my house purchase of about $600K, My parents was friends with a certain realtor and before I agreed to use his services, I haggled for a few days about being able to get some sort of rebate and he finally agreed to 1%. That seemed reasonable to me, but I wanted to check and see what others were able to work out with their buyer's agent.

Yes, I know that I could have gotten more back by going through Redfin, but I needed a little more customer service than I was getting.
