Bargaining agent Rate

[EJ K.]

this will not be a popular question amongst some but others may love it. Please share your thoughts.

Im buying a home shortly and was wondering if it’s possible to negotiate an agent’s profit from you. That is the agent representing me, the purchaser.

I am completely aware the seller pays the commission, but if I were for instance sign my agent with them to only take 1.5 or 2 percent Instead of 3 and that .5 to 1.0 percent discount for the seller would then be pushed back onto my purchase and cause a discount. 

i know what I want, I know my value and purchase price is worth it even at 1.5 to 2 percent. Can this be done? If not, why not?

Every other field of work has checks and balances. Always negotiation. The same Job title as a doctor pays differently in location c than location d. Why is this so standardized?

Thanks,
Eddie
