My point was that payment arrangements are strange. I agree with safari and steve that the fee should be a flat fee. And the seller and the buyer should be paying for their own agents, if they choose to hire one at all.

Agree. Yes, I have thick skin, I would know what I am looking for, where I am looking, how to negociate, what I want, and how to navigate the contracts. The fact that most other people here cannot do these things on their own...well, that's OK. They should hire their own agent and I should not have to pay a dime for their choice.
