By the same token should developers be required to work with clients that pay well below the market rate? Often on this website we talk about telling a client to pound sand when they want to pay next to nothing and they want the moon, how is this any different? The work an agent does is not always constant (sometimes you show a person literally over a hundred houses, sometimes they find their dream house after 2 showings) but there is a baseline of work they have to do. I don't find it so crazy that if another agent doesn't want to pay me for that work that I don't engage with that agent.

- cvz 3y agoIt's rational for the buyer's agent to do that, but that doesn't make the system less utterly corrupt. The buyer's agent represents the buyer. They should be paid by the buyer. The payment from the seller's agent to the buyer's agent, if it affects the buyer's agent's decision, must mean the buyer's agent is no longer acting in the buyer's best interest.
