If I was an agent and brought you a lower offer, ( they do have to present it to you even if it's a lowball) then you asked me to lower my commission I would walk. This is how these people make their living, they do what they have to in bringing you an offer but now you feel their effort is not worth what you agreed to pay. Very sad way to treat someone that is working for you.
