I had a lender suggest to cut the Realtor commission. I mwrote back that the Realtor commission is non-negotiable. This happened a few times and I always responded the same. The commission was never cut.

Here's a discussion I'm holding in reserve.... Help me to understand.... I'm representing you out here in the field, working hard to bring you the very best deal I can, minimizing your losses. So why would you want to try to cut my compensation? What signal are you trying to send to me? I would think that, in your position, you should be throwing your full support behind me and certainly not be suggesting cutting my compensation. I've only put in for 6% from which I compensate the buyer's agent and share with my broker. This seems to be a minimal cost for the deal that I've put together for you, saving your investors thousands of dollars by avoiding foreclosure.

Just a thought...
