I suppose this could go in the real estate thread but due to the timing of my situation I thought I could get more responses here.

I am currently in a bid / counter-bid situation with a seller. We have gone back and forth 4 times in the last 3 hours and currently sit $4,000 apart.

Not much right? Well I have already come up $1,000 from my ceiling and do not want to go any higher, on the other hand I dont want this deal to die over 4k.

I have been working with my realtor for less than a week and have gone through less than 10 houses together. The way I see it is this is the easiest commission she will ever make.

How about asking her to cut her commission by 4k and eat the difference?

Thoughs?!?!?

Keep in mind this is my first house and we are talking less than $400k sale price here.
