REBATE OR DISCOUNT?QUESTION: Rltr John, a buyer goes directly to the Seller. Can he ask for a rebate or discount? If yes, how much?
ANSWER: A buyer can only ask for discount, not rebate. I call it Broker-Less Discount practically because he transacted DIRECTLY to the seller or seller's agent, which means he did on his own the workload of watching his own back in the transaction. Agent's Commission is shared 50%/50% between Buyer's Agent and Seller's Agent. Without a Buyer's Agent, the Buyer CAN DEMAND a 50% discount of the amount of Agent's Commission -- and this can be a reason to lower down the price.
