For me as long as i get the final price i want, i don't really care how much the agent gets(from either me/buyer). But knowing you've been lied to leaves a very bad taste in the mouth, regardless kung ganyan man talaga ang kalakaran. Even if everyone's doing it, it doesn't mean it's right. I'd rather not sell my call to him and his buyer.

So, i don't seek them out and ask for their services and just try to sell directly. But if one comes around and said he has a buyer, sure i might consider to entertain him/her as long as we agree on the my FIRM/FINAL price and his 'commision'. If the deal doesn't push thru because of his high commision(from either or both the seller/buyer), then so be it, i wouldn't have possibly met the buyer if not for him.
