Discount Commissions or listing for less

Since commissions are negotiable you might think asking your Realtor to discount or reduce the rate they charge you is a good idea. But is that in your best interest? NO and here is why... A tattoo artist was questioned about a popular tattoo "born to lose" and the interviewer asked why someone would want to put such a message on their body. The artist replied that message was tatooed on the brain long before he put it on the body. The same phsychological message is conveyed when a Realtor discounts a commission, whether consciously or subconciously. A home is probably one of your largest financial investments. Do you really want to entrust that investment to someone who is "born to lose"?
