The 6% fee needs to end! I'm a Co-founder of a new firm in NYC who rebates 50%+ of the buyer side commission back to the buyer.

The average buyer doesn't a ton of assistance and giving them 1.5% of the purchase price back at closing just makes sense.

Just curious - why use a percent fee rather than a flat fee?
