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.
