Giving part of commission to buyer..?

[Brandon Stewart]

Redfin gives a portion of their commission back to their customers (Buyers). Could a regular referral agent do the same? Or would I have to be a brokerage?

 You don't want to compete like that. You will only attract the worst penny pinching buyers out there who will never respect you or your time. Spend the additional time & money you would be spending on driving around cheapo buyers who will be getting part of your commission on your marketing & continuing education to attract better clientele. In the long run you will make so much more money & do so on your own terms.
