All commissions are negotiable (i.e., there are no standard commissions set by law). I'm sure you'll find someone to list for 2.25%, but ask yourself - what does that extra .50% mean to you? Is it such a high dollar amount that it can make/break your deal for you, or is it worth paying that in order to build a relationship with a top notch agent? 

Personally I will definitely offer a discount to my loyal, long term, easy to work with investor clients. But if a new investor comes to me and tries to nickel and dime me over .50% then that tells me a lot about how they see our relationship long term and I'm not likely to work with them.
