I just posted an article on my Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Blog about new Guidelines from Fannie Mae instructing 3rd parties not to renogiate agents commission: 

From New Fannie Mae Guidelines:No Negotiation of Preforeclosure Sales Commission
Servicing Guide, Part VII, Section 504.02: Contacting Selected Borrowers
Effective March 1, 2009, closing of preforeclosure sales may not be conditioned upon a
reduction of the total commission to be paid to real estate agents to a level below what was
negotiated by the listing agent with the borrower, unless the fee exceeds 6 percent of the sales price of the property in aggregate. .....

All I can say is it is about time!

I hear you Marc - I am working on a couple as well.  I have doubled on one of them and one bank actually has a so called guideline that they won't pay one Realtor more than X percent if they have both sides..  I guess you can tell my response.....
