“The seller re-negotiated with the RE agency on their commission”
Ahhh! The famous commissionectomy!!! Love it. Lol
it came down to “a little bit of something is better than a whole lot of nothing”. The seller was motivated. It had been on the market for over a year. He imagined himself a “flipper”. In a way, I guess he was. He was getting tired of keeping the place up to show. It was very neat with the majority of his stuff in storage. My position was I had just completed a house sale and had C A S H and needed a place to live. I’d say we both got lucky. He didn’t get as much as he wanted and I paid more than what I wanted and the RE took a reduced commission to make this happen. All a compromise.
