| When you sell/buy with the same agent- does the agent usually cut a deal with you re: commissions? Is it possible to even make a deal with commissions? |

| They do make a higher commision so they should give you a bit of a deal. |

| Yes, they should definitely work with you. We bartered with our agent when we were selling our house and we didnt' even buy and sell with the same agent. |

| The only thing is when you are buying, remember your agent represents the interests of the seller, not necessarily you. |

| We used the same agent to sell our home and to buy our new construction home. The agent commission fee was 2% less. |

| The reason I was asking is because I know in the commissions, a certain percentage of the commission goes to the r.e. agent, acertain amount to the r.e. company etc. I wasn't sure how much there really is to play with. |

| You can negotiate the commission rate with them. If you are using the same agent you should have more of a padding to work with. |

| We always offer a lower commission rate before we sign anything. Only once has a realtor not wanted to take a lower commission in order to get the listing. |
