RE Licensed Investor - Give up Buying Agent Commission?

[Rick Bevilacqua]

I'm looking for some input on whether it makes sense to the ACTIVE Agent/Investors out there to forego their buy side commission on all purchase offers made on their own behalf?? (Especially on MLS deals) I've had other selling agents tell me in the past that they would favor my offer and sell it to their client when all else is comparable, for the ability to offer their client 1/2 of the originally budgeted commission. I think it makes sense but I'm looking at contrary points of view. Thoughts?
