[quote=ljinvestor]That is in reference to Sellers agent and a very unique scenario. Its the first I’ve heard of a buyers agent asking for less while not discounting the difference off the purchase price.
It really doesn’t make sense because if they didn’t reduce the purchase price by that 1% then the discount agent should have taken the extrra 1% and rebated more to buyer.
Couldn’t your co-worker have said no to the 4/2 split and asked it to be 3/2?[/quote]
Yep. I was using it as an example of the lack of scruples for some RE Agents. She should have, I suggested that she do that.. but she didn’t want a ‘conflict’ and wanted to sell one place because she had a purchase contingent on the sale of the old place, which is what I suspect the RE Agent was banking on. I also re-emphasized to her.. Read all documents through before signing. He ‘slid’ the change in rates in on her, saying that the new docs were needed for some other purpose.
