Thank you for all the input. It seems that it may be easiest to just go with something like buyside.com and get 75% of the commission as a credit from them. I know that the agent is getting 6% because I asked about the contract. I also think that in the current market, the buyer has a lot more options and the seller had better be a bit flexible. Thank you for the tip about writing in a credit into the contract, I will have to look into that a bit more.

Do we have to ask the home owners to re-write their contract with the listing agent so he only gets 3% or do we just write our names on the purchase offer where it asks % & name of representation?
