This is exactly why so many people question realtor commissions.

If the buyer found the house, paid full price, asked for almost nothing, and still feels like their own agent fought THEM... what exactly was the $10,000 for?

I know good realtors can absolutely earn their money.

A great agent can negotiate, spot problems, keep a deal from falling apart, protect you from bad terms, and save you from mistakes that cost WAY more than their commission.

But this is where people get frustrated.

If the buyer found the house themselves, offered full asking price, asked for no credits or concessions, and then felt like their own agent was pushing back every time they wanted something addressed, the value starts getting really hard to see.

That’s the part the industry has to understand.

People are not automatically angry about paying someone $10,000.

They’re angry when they can’t clearly explain what they got for it.

And when the fee is five figures, the value better feel like five figures.

⚠️ The Critical 2-Day Timeline
Under Nacha rules, a business only has 2 business days from the settlement date to return an unauthorized corporate ACH debit (using return code R29).

If reported within 2 business days: The bank can automatically reverse the transaction through the Nacha network and pull the funds back from the receiving bank.

If reported after 2 business days: The bank is no longer required to credit your account or reverse the charge. You will have to go through a lengthy manual collections dispute, or the bank may reject the claim entirely, citing that you failed to monitor your account within a "commercially reasonable" timeframe.
