How to split buyers agent commission with homebuyer?
We're looking to buy a home in our same community. Its a new construction, we've already worked with the builders agent as that is who we bought our previous home from. The community mandates the builder pay a 6% agent fee. The builders agent cannot represent us. So if we bring our own agent, we'd like for our agent to take 1% free then we get 2% fee off the price of the home. Essentially our agent is getting 1% to handle the transaction.
Can anybody suggest a method to do this? We're in the state of TN if that's relevant.
