Thank you Mary & John for your answers.
If I understand correctly
As a buyer, even if listing comes from my agent, I don't have any advantage over other buyers from other agents.

Thanks Sharon Avram and Karen Abramson for your straight answer, I would also prefer to have my own buyer agent.

Hi,
Thanks for your answers, Glad to hear that option -1 buyer is not in loose situation.
As a buyer we know advantage of having buyer agent, but trying to think logically if sellers agent can change/control the deal to make seller & seller agent to be in win-win situation with thier own interest assuming all other factors are similar for both buyers.
What is the reason seller agent either try to get full comssion/50% comission, don't they prefer 75% comission working with both seller & buyer? If seller decided to accept offer 400k with 6% comission.

What happens in below scenario
1) As a buyer you go with your buyers agent with offer of 400K
2) Another buyer directly comes to seller agent with 394K offer.
Does seller/seller agnet prefers to pick second option with reducing seller agnet commision with 6k-8k (assumpltion 6% is commision), so that buyer in second option, seller & seller agnet will get advantage?
How does it handled?
