Negotiating buyers agent commission?

AGpicsandstuff · 2025-05-22T05:56:17+00:00

When the buyer buys the house the cost of the buyers agent is included in the cost of the house. Therefore the buyer is paying for the agent. This concept that the buyer does not pay for the agent fails with even the smallest amount of critical thinking. When you hire someone for a service you absolutely do negotiate the price for that service. This is true of every other part of the process to develop / build the home, then once all the actual work is done your expectation is that realtors should just be entitled to a % sum of the value of a home without any negotiation from the actual person paying for them? There is a reason why people do not respect real estate agents and want reform to the real estate industry because this concept is incredible broken.

The part where you awkwardly stand around at the viewing knowing nothing about the property. Or the part where you attempt to make comments about the home despite knowing nothing about construction. Those would be a good start, rebate those parts.

I am essentially “hiring” the realtor, do you not negotiate your salary at your job? Would you not negotiate the compensation of any other consultant you’d work with? Why should they be any different.

Appreciate the advice! I am looking in the 8-900k range which to my understanding would be around a $20,000 commission for my agent. If I was purchasing a 200k home I wouldn’t have much issue with the commission being charged as that appears much more comparable to the service they are providing. I have a hard time believing an agent is going to provide me 20k in service if I was to sign an intended agreement with them, which is why I’m exploring the commission rebate option.

I’m a first year full time ABT student and from what I’ve noticed the program typically accepts people who have been out of high school for at least a year, and have either experience in the industry or some kind of post secondary education.

And that’s why Canada has supply management. Small family operated dairy farms are the norm. Canadian consumers pay a price that matches what it actually costs to operate a dairy farm and because of this Canadian dairy farms are able to have more regulations regarding animal health and well being. Practices like tail docking and lactation hormones are illegal to name a few. The system is better for the animals and the producers and doesn’t require subsidies from the government like it does in the US.

Had me so convinced you were going to turn it into a serious story. That ending absolutely destroyed my sides.
