So, if I list my house for $400K with a 6 percent commission, you will represent both the buyer and the seller to get a "satisfactory" price, and then expect me, the seller, to pay you $24,000? There is no way I would ever agree to that. I expect the agent to represent me in negotiations and to get the highest reasonable price. I'm glad that Florida law doesn't allow that. If they did, I would sell my own house.
