The listing agent should already have a contract with the seller for 6%. Why
would the Agent settle for half? Keep in mind it's the buyer's agent that
does most of the work leading up to the closing. Unless the house was
grossly over priced and they weren't getting any action. Chances are you WAY
overpaid for that house.
