Would a real estate agent be interested in a contract where most of the compensation in a form of "buyer's agent comission"?
Context: I'd like to optimize the cost of selling our house a bit. We've found a new house that we're ready to put an offer on and with how much time we've spend researching house purchase I feel like we could do fine representing ourselves. However, developers don't do discounts if you're not using buyer's agent. My though process is this:
- Get an agent to be our buying agent - easy money. We've already done our research. Just need to close.
- In exchange we'd like them to be our selling agent and wave or significantly reduce their fee.
In other words, do you see it possible for me to pay all or most of selling fee with offering "easy way to earn buyer's commission" on a more expensive house? Has anyone done that?
