I’ve known some where you sign for a day… that was before the settlementSo this is part of the turmoil.. why else would an agent work with a buyer without promise of compensation? 

This is to compensate them for the coordination and supervision of the work.

The best I understand it commissions will no longer be displayed on the MLS and buyers representation agreements will be required along with a compensation disclosure that everyone signs showing what the buyers broker will make.Realtors aren't going anywhere as the home buying process is not simple and easy.

If they have a buyer and see .5% or 0% offered as buyer agent compensation, you'll cut your potential inquiries by 80-85% as many agents will move onto a listing that offers 2-3% buyer agent commission.Just my $.02Hope this helps!

When negotiating the listing agreement sellers and their agent agree on a commission rate as well as an “offer of cooperating compensation” or split.This “offer of cooperating compensation” defines how the commission will be split up between the agent for the seller (listing agent) and the agent for the buyer.

Of course, the owners don't offer to compensate the agents in anyway...Not sure what is the "fsbo website" but whatever you learn better be State specific, if not your portion of the state. 

Hard enough to operate effectively long term, gotta be compensated for that effort.

As a last resort, I would even be willing to lease the land, provided that I be compensated for the improvements when it sells.TIA

I think that you would have to understand what you are trying to accomplish before discussing compensation.

In the marketing, the justification for an interest rate of up to 20% is that the peso would depreciate against the USD, whereby you'd actually have to repay less and that would compensate for the sky-high interest rate.
