That can be a tricky situation.

If company A charges 6.5% to list and sell a piece of real estate that cost a $100K, it equals $6500 in costs to sell.

If company B charges 7.5% for listing & selling on the same piece of property, thats a cost of $7500, giving you 20% back as a gift still gives you a cost of $6000. Not far off.....

Check the rates of commission is where I am getting at with this.....if their rates for selling are the same, its not a bad deal, but read the fine print. If its a private owned realtor, that might make the difference as well. Real estate has ways to be worked to get what you want and need out of it.
