Who cares where the commission comes from, you are asking your realtor to eat a portion of her commission without discussing it when you 'hired' her. She has an expectation to get a certain commission when she finds you a house of a certain value that fits your needs.

For her to find that house, and you to try and force her to cut that commission in half is not right. You can ask and she can say no, but if you refuse to buy the house unless she does, then that is pretty crappy.
