That is one of the main problems working with a large brokerage is that there are many hands in the commission pie. Thus buyers are limited because of that. Similarly agents are biased as to working harder for larger sales as opposed to smaller sales because as you stated, it really is not worth your time is it? I highly doubt that any broker in any large brokerage will accept a reduction in THIER commission. Perhaps the brokers you work for have been overly generous I guess. So in your example above if someone wanted say a 50% commission split how would that work? Your Prudential agent certainly would not work for them for free correct? Thus would his broker accept a reduction in his money? Perhaps for a very large purchase I can see it but for run of the mill stuff I highly doubt it. Show me a Prudential Broker who will accept that and I will gladly admit I am wrong. Alternately I guess you work with very benevolent brokers.

Not to be dense but can you define some of the pronouns above? When you say “someone” for the 50% split, do you mean agents or a layperson?
