>The commission difference on a significant gap is not worth losing the deal. You get it better than the parent commenter... just this morning on a deal the other agent and I each agreed to chip in a bit to keep the deal together, even though the actual commission we will each receive is borderline not worth the effort. Real estate is a relationship business. We take care of clients they will come back and they will refer their friends. Yes deal flow is important, but just transacting high and fast is a good way to burn out both yourself and your clients.
