My Wife's actually studying for her a real estate license exam right now :)
If you are the seller and buyer agent in most states (I think there is an

real estate agent is just a moderator. Cheap plug: if you are moving to

our buyers agent slashed his commision for us.

There is very little in life that is not negotiable. Real Estate prices
are down. Sales are down. Agents are hungry. You should be able to get
an agent to drop their commission for your listing. It may be harder
with big companies but there are lots of smaller and discount agencies
around.

I went through this a few years ago when I sold my house in Texas. The
selling agent disclosed all of the fees and commissions up front when we
were doing the paperwork. She also took care of the listing and showings. If
you are lucky you can get into a situation like mine. The prospective buyer

ah, okay.
Haven't sold a house, but our realtor when we were buying told us that
6% is standard for our area (Seattle metro). When I asked about
negotiable percentages

You could offer an extra percent or two to the seller. If you really
want them to get the best deal.
Just make sure your seller agent is not their buyer agent. That's a
huge conflict o'interest.
In some cases the local board of realtors has set standards for seller/buyer
agent splits.

Ours is at 5%. There is some room, however if the buyer has their own agent,
your Realtor has to split the commission.

It never hurts to ask if they will cut their commission, but there are

Is it reasonable to expect some wiggle room from a Realtor when selling your
home as far as commission goes? Is it common practice to negotiate the
percentage, and if so, whats considered rock bottom?
Selling for the 1st time is almost as overwhelming as buying for the 1st

maybe more so
