Maybe it’s just me, but I never negotiate a real estate person’s commission down. I never try to short change them. They work way too hard most of the time, not necessarily just on the house I’m selling or buying. I worked in real estate for one month and that was enough. Being available 24 hours, showing vacant houses to questionable individuals etc did me in immediately. If I don’t want to pay commission I sell my own home. Or go for a set fee broker. As for house price, I offer the amount that a particular house is worth to me and the seller can determine if they consider it a fair price to them. Works for me so far.
