I'm sure there are exceptions to this but for the most part it is true.
If I,as an MLS agent, which I'm NOT, were to bring a ready , willing buyer to YOUR agent the compensation would normally be half. A buyer is a buyer! If the house is priced right and sells quickly, great! Savvy MLS agents know good quick sales opportunities right away, no matter what the compensation is.
