I understand. It seems like the only negotiable part is the 3 percent of the buyer's commission, however, it is only really possible to cut that number down to 2 percent or so.  I guess I was thinking since we were going through the listing agent, that they wouldn't need to charge both the buyer's and seller's commission.  

Ok, how can I find someone who would adjust their commission? I don't quite understand what you mean by as a broker the selling agent commission is always 0.  Thank you.

We want to purchase a HUD house, which we are trying to do through the listing agent. The problem is, the buyer and seller's commissions are 6%, a total of 12,000 dollars, which has greatly increased the price of the house. We are very interested in the house, but this amount is making it unaffordable. The agent said that these fees are non- negotiable. Is there anyway to make this lower, perhaps with another agent? We really would like the house. Any help would be great! Thank you.
