- the listing agent has an even bigger commission in the deal if there is no buyer agent, so they may work extra hard to upsell the deal to you to make the deal work - a takeaway may backfire, for example, 6% commission and you ask the seller to now work for 3% and credit the sales price, will they truly represent your best interests?
