With a higher commission, your property will be offered and shown more to buyers than other properties. Well, this could work for some agents.

For home buyers, rebates are beneficial, inasmuch as they lower the cost of a real estate transaction.

I am merely looking for a way to bring in more traffic. I'm willing to pay the buyer's agent for taking the time to research the property and expose it to buyers, who will end up with a great property at less money in the long run.

I believe that it is not a crime to leave money on the table if it is done in such a way that will generate revenue, create good will, and maintain integrity. If any of these elements are lost then you are just "taking one for the team" and over the course of time you must be able to live with the deal. dean Thanks Tom!

No argument on that concept. As a former resident of Reston, Tysons Corner, and Leesburg, Va I can relate to the area I believe to be your area. Although I have been gone for 10 yrs, I remember the climate in No Va real estate to be one dominated by home builders who were willing to give nearly anything in order to get the deal done. As my former boss used to scream : "It aint braggin if you can do it." Simply put if you can represent a buyer or seller more effectively than your competition then you deserve your commission in full. dean Frank,

We give back anything above what we agreed to work for. (but that goes both ways, if the offered rate is short, the buyer has to come up with the difference).

And in this instance if I was selling my home it would be the combination of having your cake and eating it too. You can behave ethically and at the same time provide a lure to attract others who may be tempted by a higher commission. While it is not ideal, it is also practical and can attract new potential buyers in a slow market. Dean

That sums up a majority of the business people in this country. If you evaluate the best business people, best Realtors, and best bloggers one thing seems to be a common thread. All of these successful people believe in the law of abundance. They believe that there is more than enough business to go around for all. They also believe that providing answers through information without compensation attached is a fantastic method of bring back positive responses. The Realtors that are bitching now are most of the same people who thought that selling was just throwing a contract on the front lawn for the home starved masses during the rush. The real sales begin when there are very few customers. The real character is revealed when things are not going your way. dean Sundream,

The interest goes up. The market goes down. The constructers/building companies sell less, but they are sitting with there high expenses. Which they can’t not do anything about. They offer higher commission to the agent. The broker /agents sell less, but they also are sitting with to high expenses, which they also can’t do anything about. Of course they run for the highest commission. I’m sorry, forget moral and ethic codes when its comes to money. This is a hamster weal..
