Alternatively, while listing properties, I've encountered buyers attempting to use the commission as leverage by offering less and saying if their offer is accepted it's more favorable to us since we'd make more commission.Rule of thumb, at my office, will always be as an agent representing any party, you to do what's in the best interest of your client, not your pocket.
