Are real estate commissions negotiable?
Yes, but this is not normally a buyer concern, since most or all of the commission usually comes from the seller. The buyer’s agreement with his agent usually authorizes the agent to accept payment from the listing company. You should ask your agent if he plans to show you only listings offering top commission dollar. Some listing agents may offer a lower commission than others and you should know if you agent plans to screen out those listings. Back to top.
