I never said that I expected it.
I asked if anyone had negotiated it. All commissions are negotiable, and I generally have been able, outside The Villages, to negotiate a commission less than the ostensible "standard" 6%. Given the bargaining power of The Villages Realty, I am almost certain that I won't get less than 6% from them, however, I am not sure about the independent realtors--thus my question.
In fact, given the access that The Villages Realty has to potential buyers, I am not sure why anybody would use an MLS realtor in the absence of a lower commission. Of course, the new screwed-up website of The Villages Realty could change my view in that regard.
