6%, oh that would be sweet. We get about 3% here and thats for list and selling ends. (1.5% per side) On a million dollar sale that I doulbe end, I'll make $30,000 CDN; which I'm happy with, in fact at first it felt almost illegal?

I would list my good clients home with no listing commission at all, if they use me as their buyers agent on their purchase; but if I bring the buyer to their property, then I take the selling commission. Two years ago I wouldn't of worked for a nickel off a full commission, but today we have to be more flexible.

I appreciate my clients that go the FSBO route (heck, its what I'd do!) and I'm willing to be flexible and creative with them. Fact is though, I make 90% of my income from 10% of my clients and those 10% always want me to make my commission. On a high average, they're business minded people and good business promotes profit.

Try finding a Reelytor that will be flexible and creative when the time comes?
