Myth #2 is a good one. I've only ever had one buyer client put it together and ask, "What's your motivation to get me the lowest price, if you're paid a percentage of the sale price?" Weintraub is correct that the commission difference doesn't come out to that much. But more importantly, a good agent will gladly give up $150 not only because it's our duty to our client, but because it means that you're going to tell everyone you know about the great job your agent did helping you buy your house! That can mean thousands of dollars in future business for us, so in an odd way, this system works.
