Requesting the 3% buyer agent fee for closing and deposit-

[Aaron N.]

Hi,

I am purchasing a property without a buyers agent- I would like the sellers agent to pay a portion of the commission either back into the owners pocket or into my closing cost and down payment.  What the best way to request this on my purchase contract.  Is it better to increase my offer and request it for myself or keep my offer low and request it go back to the owner of the property.
