Buying Home in East Grand Rapids
There is a house on the market in East Grand Rapids that I would like to put an offer on. I know the price that I am willing to pay for this property. I currently do not have a realtor (the seller does have a listing agent).
I want to reduce the 6% commission that is stated on the seller's listing agreement. Does anybody have any suggestions? Please no responses on why the 3% buyer agent's fee is reasonable. There is a reduced work-load for an agent in this transaction and I would like to apply the differential to my equity basis in the property. Thanks!

Just make an offer for whatever you feel is reasonable for the home, based on what other similar homes have sold for in similar areas in the last 6 months. Strike the whole commission from your mind.

I agree. If you know what you want to pay for it just offer it. If they take it or not the commission doesn't matter.
