Government contracts often stipulate a maximum or bid amount but they need proof that you spent or allocated every dollar of that amount.
That said, government contracts make their money on the out of scope work.
For me, I will work for my rate sheet or a fixed rate but not a combination of both. I wouldn't expect less of a real estate agent.
My biggest complaint with their rate structure though is that they seem to make more money in a hot housing market when I would assume that they have to do more work in a cool housing market.
