Did you get what you could have? Doesn’t sound like it.

Feel free to educate me on what I did wrong.

well to start with you were working for them, not them working for you from your description. Paid them twice for the same job they’d have done for only the buyer.

All of that production and you don't have the Smarts/experience to admit when you are wrong.

When I’m wrong I admit it, from everything you said, you’re a marshmallow when it comes to negotiations. You gave away things that probably weren’t necessary.

Example, repairs. There are lots of ways to negotiate that out, typically when I’m on the buyer’s side I gave the seller pay that out of closing proceeds. My buyer has control over the work, seller pays for it, my commission doesn’t get cut. You really aren’t going to know what my client really thinks is important, or what it actually takes to repair it. Or….what my clients skills are. Negotiated out 6k on one repair, client does house renovations, cost them less than 2k. 2 grand here, 5 there….adds up.
