I wish you are not a real estate agent. Everything has a right price, including real estate. When that price is reached, it should be a win-win situation, not pain-pain. When there is a difference between the selling price and the offering price and both sides insist on them, it indicates that there is the difference in the ways which both sides value the item. Good negotiation can help understand that. At least the value suggested by the CMA done by the buyer should be close to that of the seller's. Without talking, how do we even know that. The seller may think the market being better than it really is and the buyer may think the market being worse than it is. Both are harmful. If buyer and seller can't agree at that right price and there are many legit reasons for it, either no deal or one side give up a little. The side which gives up should still have their reason to give up. I am not here to rip someone off. If the seller can convice me I am getting what it worths, I will be gald to buy it at that price.

There may be a lot of agents who do not like to see the rebate thing spread too much. I apologize for that but I think they need to look forward and prepare for it.

To elaborate a little more regarding the negotiation, I feel like that there is not enough information exchanged. There are many reasons sellers don't want to lower their selling price and buyers don't want to offer more than what they have offered. Let's hear that. I don't like simply throw offer and counter offer back and forth.

Thanks for the response.

This agent is willing to offer rebate. There is just no contract about it, which I don't feel comfortable. That is why I posted the other question. Actually she did agree to come up with an agreement if I insist. The issue I have in the negotiation process is that it appears to me that she is rushing the deal through while I have world of time (which she knows) and want to get the best price I can get( no brainer here).

Have you considered the potential airfield expansion? It is a concern for some people, at least I know.

I have an offer out to a property and I found my buyer's agent is incompetent in negotiation besides other issues. I am quite disappointed. Can I change for a new agent to make an offer on the same property? If I can, when?

Other than the offer I signed, there is no exclusive agreement signed.

Thanks.

Thanks for the comment. Are you saying that it should be in the contract not any other form of agreement?

There are some buyer's agents who are willing to give some of their commission to the buyer. Since the sale contract still states that the buyer's agent gets 3% (normally), how can a buyer make sure that the agent will give the money back after the closing or at the closing? If an agreement is needed, is there a standard one?

Thanks.
