I will not force my buyers to buy a house that I could make an extra commission on. I always negotiate for my buyers and they hardly ever pay full price for a house.

Their knowledge alone is a great resource that most homeowners/buyers are lacking. I know I was. I think the realty agents do enough work to justify the commission.

Its seems a little wierd. Like is an agent really going to tell a buyer "you should really offer full price on this house" even though it doesnt have any other offers and has been on the market for 2 weeks. The only change to commissions I would like is some amount of work on both agents parts. Some agents and agencies bring a buyer and then dissappear. I think in these cases the buyers agent should not get 3 percent since they force the listing agent to do twice the work. I have seen those bonuses too for full price offers.
