Ha Steveno to you,
If your goal is to get someone to rebate you commissions you can always find someone to do that. Apparently you have been successful at that. Of course that in and of itself means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! If you got a 3% discount on a property that was inferior to a superior one you could have gotten for 3% more you lost. If you got a 3% rebate but paid 5% too much for what you got you lost.

I have no details on any of your transactions so you may have done great. But getting a property the way you did does not in and of itself mean anything.
