Agent discount for being buyers/listing agent

[jackmichigan]

In addition to a discussion about fee concessions, I would also expect that your agent would advise you that if you sell your primary residence prior to living there for two years then you may be liable to pay capital gains tax on any profit. You probably already know that but she shouldn't assume anything.

If one was not offered I would talk to other agents.

How do we know what the offered co-broke is going to be on the last purchase? What if it's a flat $500 and she already discounted the previous sale? Most listings in my area pay 2.5% but there are some with a flat amount and I saw one yesterday that was offering the buyer's agent .9%.
