marcus.  I'm speculating that you're a real estate agent/broker and It's to your benefit to charge the going rate. I realize that you have to split the 6% commission with the buying broker.  But for the seller, he/she is still out 6%.  And you always hear the old fictional story of how a full service broker can provide better service than a discount broker.  "Rubbish" in a sellers market as we are in now.  Don't try to scare folks about pending lawsuits if things go wrong .  It's the same old scare tactics that place real estate agents in such low esteem with used car salesmen.  Folks should at least try discount brokers before listening to scare propaganda from the 6 percenters.
