Thanks a lot for the nomeclature clarification. One of our shortlisted buyer agents is offering what I belive is a reasonable commission rebate percentage in addition to having good recos from recent homebuyers. I am planning to see if he is open for a fixed dollar amount commission and give remaining buyer (coop) commission as rebate to us. The fixed commission I plan to negotiate will be based on our home price range and his quoted effective commission percentage. I believe fixed dollar amount commision will be the least conflict of interest scenario. Are there any downsides with this approach?
