The last REO listing I had the paralegal for the bank suggested I cut my commission right before the closing. The lawyers picked it up and started sending emails around (I was CCed on the emails) They all agreed that was the direction to take.....can you beleve it? These people decided to cut my pay after months of work, than discussing like I didn't exist. I sent and email saying, " Unfortunately, at this time XXX Realty is unable to reduce its commission, etc, etc" I was polite and to the point. 24 hrs later, the "issue" dissappears and the house closed.
