In thIs podcast I dig into the reasons why lis ing agents and sellers offer different cooperative commissions. My advice is that listing agents should stay focused on advising the seller what commission rate or flat fee will get the job done depending on the current market conditions. Listing agents should avoid making decisions and giving advice to sellers based on duties to buyer's agents and reactions of others in the industry. Losing focus of the best interest of the seller by focusing on what others may think could be an example of undisclosed dual agency.
