Well said, NJblue. As a former, although still Florida licensed, real estate broker, I couldn't agree more.
Another point, real estate people are hurting too so they may be open to negotiation. When I was active we had a policy of reducing the commission by 50% if the seller brought us a buyer. I can't remember a seller ever bringing us a buyer but the offer was sincere.
