Agent charging 6.3% and 3,000 broker fee? Cmon..

[Greg P.]

I'm selling a house through this realtor because I wanted to return the favor for bringing me the deal. Come to find out, he wants to charge 6.3% realtor fees and a 3,000 broker fee? I've done enough houses to know this is ridiculous. How do you deal with a situation where you want to help the guy because he helped you, but he is not being reasonable?

You counter his offer with something more reasonable, and let him decide if he wants to take the more reasonable offer. If not, it's up to you to decide if the long-term relationship is worth the extra selling cost.
