I am curious to hear from you on the following:

What did your realtor explain about their fees or how they’d be compensated for helping you buy or sell your home? Did you try negotiating the realtor’s commission? If yes, how did it go?

If you were a buyer:

Did you know realtors could potentially offer a rebate? Did you discuss this with them? Did you ever feel they encouraged certain homes based on their commission potential? If you’d had to pay your realtor’s full compensation yourself, would that have changed your decision to use their services?

If you were a seller:

Did your realtor recommend a specific commission rate to help sell your home faster? Would you negotiate differently or reconsider using a realtor if you weren’t required to pay commission to other realtors involved?
