Realtors make money on volume not just commission, thats a key detail.

That thing about being talked out of lowballing reminds me of how we often think being aggressive gets us ahead, when really it just burns bridges. I see it all the time at the grocery store, people arguing over a coupon or a price adjustment like it's their last dollar. Same with asking for a raise or negotiating with a contractor. The quiet, steady approach almost always works better in the long run. People remember how you treated them, not just the number you offered or demanded.
