Looking for agents input for finders fees

[Courtney Murray]

I spoke to an agent today in reference to a house we are interested in, and explained to her what being an investor is about as she asked. She mentioned she has seen a couple of houses that are distressed, and knows that one sold, and one won't budge in lowering the price. Along with her commission fees, what are some thoughts here from other agents where as an added incentive to her, I'd pay her a finders fee upon closing for notifying me about the deal. I've been told a $200 finders fee is average... Where I am also curious hearing from agents here, your thoughts if you are offered that. Is that a fair deal, or is it offensive? Thanks
