I've talked to a couple of friends and it sounds like you're asking her to give up half of her or his commission for her to get the deal.

I get negotiating I do it everyday, its not up to her or any agent to give up her or his direct income for you to make a deal.

It dosen't matter if its 10 hours or 50 hours or whatever, that's the number that was agreed to when you engaged, you could have stopped the process when you looked at a house that was out of your price range and moved onto another house in your price range.

The movement point comes from either the person that owns the hosue, or the person that wants to buy the house.

Not the agent or her commission.

I agree with the point, in the overall picture that commission is making up for the soft months or for the people that burgler her time.

My sympathies to your agent.

Personally I would work through my rolodex to see if I can find someone else that isn't going to ask me to take a 50% cut on my pay to make a deal.
