Cindi,
No one can deny that
a) the deal can happen only if the seller and the buyer agree on a price.
b) technically it is in the interest of both the agents to sell the property at the maximum price possible because their commission is based on the selling price.
So, I don't know how much influence the buyer's agent can have in negotiating the price; ultimately its the seller who has to accept the offer. - Sat Jul 5 2008, 21:03
