Seller Agent Commission Kickback

[Scarlett]

[quote=SD Realtor] Some may and some may not. You can also simply lower the purchase price by the amount.

Doing this in a letter will get you a 0% success rate. You will need to approach the agents in person at the open houses or call them. Your letters will go straight to the trash can. You can also just go with a Redfin to get a coop rebate or other places.[/quote]

Would a e-mail letter without asking for any kickback, just for dual representation, be thrown away? Just curious – why? I personally find it much more convenient to send e-mails than to try to get hold of somebody on the phone and I wish that more realtors will have also e-mail address listed and do business using that as well.

I am getting a $5000 kick back from my agent. It is more than 1%. But my agent is my sis-in-law so she is being generous. Normally people get 0.5% to 1% depending on how much you are spending on the house.

Jimmy, was your agent a dual agent or not? I guess her being a relative makes it easier to hash things out 🙂

Scarlett,

No, she is just the buyer agent. Actually, it was difficult for me to ask and I didn’t since she is my sis-in-law and I didn’t want to look like a cheap guy. I just take whatever she gives me.
