Agent commission if I bring the buyer

[Jacob Sawyer]

I’m currently working on finishing up fix and flip and I when I bought the property I promised a realtor friend of mine that he could list this property after rehab is finished. We haven’t signed a listing agreement or anything yet and I just had someone reach out to me personally wanting to buy the house and they are pre approved. But since I have already promised my friend the listing and I don’t want to damage our relationship I’m still going to let him

handle the sale. Is it fair for me to ask him to reduce his commission from 6% to 3% for the deal since Ill be bringing the buyer?
