re: Using a Relator to buy a house?

I know that, but do seller’s realtors ever say “I’ll knock my commission down from 6% to 4% to close the deal and you accept the lower offer” since they won’t have to pay half to the buyers agent.

Theoretically, yes. Not sure if this ever happens as I've only purchased one home and I did use a realtor. Friends advised me to use a realtor saying a good agent will save you money, and there's no guarantee your scenario would play out.
