When a home Seller is counselled to offer a lower than average amount of selling commission to a Cooperating Brokerage, are they being advised as to how this may possibly interact negatively with a prospective Buyer's «Buyer's Agency Contract», and if so, why would such a Seller agree to proceed as such — especially, if they've been made aware of any discounts that may apply to their List Price, later, as a result of
extended market time?The aforesaid is fundamental to a
fiduciary responsibility — yet, I believe that most Provincial Regulatory Authorities would be reluctant to prosecute such a negligent Registrant or Practitioner because the accused would hide behind the argument they were being wrongly persecuted for offering a «competitive business model»!
