Dear Peter: Your article about Buyer's Broker's Fees is excellent! We have been on the same page for years. However, please consider the following point: When did a competitor set the value of another's service? On the MLS playing field, the listing brokerage has pre-determined the value of another MLS member's service who brings the buyer to the transaction. Does a dentist run to the dentist next door and ask how much he charges/ or should charge for a root canal? Obviously not! Then why does a listing brokerage even think that they have the right to determine the value of another professional brokerage's service? In my opinion, the MLS is a membership of competitors. It's purpose is to disclose to all members the availability of properties. It's purpose is not to pre-determine the value of another member's service to it's client or customer. Have a sunny day, Peter! Regards, Lois M.
