How do I ask my realtor to reduce commission?
These are agents who might ask for a higher commission but quickly agree to lower fees if there is competition from another agent.
If you like an agent who has quoted you a higher commission but interviewed a second who agreed to do the job for less, call the first agent and offer the second agent’s fee.
Explain why.

Why are realtor fees so high?
They charge a lot because it takes work and money to market, it is hard to get licensed and become a real estate agent, they have to pay for dues and insurance and real estate agents usually have to split their commissions with their broker. The biggest reason a real estate agent gets paid so much is they are worth it!
