Just to be clear about my experience, when the seller's agent offered us half of her 6% commission, she didn't know that we had an agent. We were there at the open house alone. When we mentioned that we had an agent, she dropped it. She didn't push for one over the other.
I still wonder about the buyers agent. They, like everyone, work for money. They get more money if the home sells for a higher price. Why would they be motivated to push for a lower price on the house. They would be shooting themselves in the foot. The only good thing for them to come out of a lower prices is potential referrals in the future from a happy client.
