Negotiate lower agent fee?

Would it be fair to negotiate a lower agent fee based on whether seller produces buyer? Single family home is above average price.

Negotiating commission up front is always an option. Keep in mind, your agent is the one bringing a buyer whether they are representing them or not due to the work they put in helping prepare your home to be listed, having professional photos taken, creating the MLS listing & marketing the home.

It would depend on the situation, but if they got a sign call or something easy like that, yes it is definitely fair to negotiate a lower commission

Yes I think that would be a fair thing to ask if the seller provides the buyer

This question I believe is based on the recent court case in which it was determined that the buyer can negotiate the commissions with their agent.
