I have offered higher commission rate and have not seen any more activity. My clients also seem to like the houses with a lower commission for some reason. I show the homes the my buyers want to look at and the ones that fit their needs. I have not found any correlation between selling commission offered and a home selling.

Just another reason why, when the public things of realtors, respect does not come to mind.

Remember Foxtons? An agent with a 50/50 split will be working for 1% of sale. It could also depend on the price of the house. In a market where you can show someone 20 similar homes,
