With absolutely no doubt I can say that you can get the same rebate as the Redfin model and receive much better buyers agent services.

Could you please elaborate? I like dealing with my agent, but 15K on a 500K home seems to be a REALLY expensive way to say thanks. I imagine I could tell my agent that she is getting a fixed 3K from any deal I sign, and the rest she will have to pay me back. And I believe she would agree, since it’s still more than nothing. Somehow, though, I suspect that will make me the least favored of her clients, and that’s bound to have negative impact on the service provided. Don’t you agree?
