Buyer and seller commissions?
We want to purchase a HUD house, which we are trying to do through the listing agent. The problem is, the buyer and seller's commissions are 6%, a total of 12,000 dollars, which has greatly increased the price of the house. We are very interested in the house, but this amount is making it unaffordable. The agent said that these fees are non- negotiable. Is there anyway to make this lower, perhaps with another agent? We really would like the house. Any help would be great! Thank you.
