Thread: 2.5% Commission??

Who said anything about "Not showing a property to a buyer based on what commission is being offered is a breach of your fiduciary duty as a buyer agent" ?

This post is mostly complaining amongst ourselves regards to compensation.

Ps, we all passed the same test, we know.

You're right Tomgoral. The other Tom didn't say he doesn't show them - just shuffles them lower in "the list".

However, a buyer agent's job is to find his/her clients the best home for their needs, and compensation should have nothing to do with that selection process.

Oh I see, most of my clients search the mls database off our company search engine. I just don't like it when listing agents get 3% and buyer agents get 1.5%. I always give buyer agents more, just seems fair.

Something to reflect on:

We do bank owned listings for Bank of America. They give us a 6% commission and they have us split it so that the buyers agent gets 3.5% and we get 2.5%. I thinkill depends on the bank or the area.
