Navigating Variable Seller Commissions: A Guide for Real Estate Agents

In the dynamic world of real estate, agents often face the challenge of variable seller commissions that don't align with the rates outlined in their buyer's agreements. This discrepancy can create uncertainty and complexity in transactions, potentially affecting both the agent's service delivery and the buyer's experience. However, with the right strategies, agents can navigate these waters effectively, ensuring satisfaction for all involved parties.
