When the listing agent submitted the bid on my behalf, she was presented with two lines on the bid submission form:"6(a) Upon sales closing, Seller agrees to pay to the broker a commission (including selling bonus, if offered by seller) of:6(b) Upon sales closing, Seller agrees to pay to the broad listing broker (If broker identifided is not the broad listing broker):"My understanding is that these two fields are automatically filled in with the number 1250, but that she could have reduced 6b to something more reasonable like 500 - I feel that is a reasonable compensation for submitting the bid on my behalf and filling out the hud contract.

If you're willing to alienate your listing agent and the selling agents who show your properties over a couple hundred dollars (and you will piss off agents by doing this), then you're not thinking long-term in your business.We go the opposite direction -- giving bonuses to our selling agents -- and it keeps them calling us and asking us what we have to sell.

I will entertain in the future for a deal I cannot pass up, using one of my 0% balance transfer's on my credit card knowing that my year end bonus from my employer will pay it back instantly come year end.

If it works out financially in the end, consider that a bonus.

If she closes with a friend or family member, that is a bonus.
