Offer submitted to Wells Fargo at an approved price. Per the negotiator...

      "The investor will not pay commissions on this short sale due the homeowner being a real estate
        agent at the same brokerage as the listing agent and buyer’s agent."

It's a large area brokerage with offices in every city. All 3 parties are at the same brokerage but the offices are in different cities. Our backup offer is even from the same brokerage 50 miles away.

Very discriminatory and this deal won't happen for free. Anyone dealt with this before?

Yes, had DB write a letter to negotiator explaining why agent did not list their own property (E&O didn't cover it, can't make money form it etc..) then explained that they were basically implying the brokers were participating in fraud by not paying the commission stated in the listing contract.  This has also happened with M&I and Chase, the letter worked in all three cases at 5%, not the 6% on the listing.
Just closed one this week.  The buyer was the "agent/broker", buying an investment property, distinct difference and he brought forth the offer under his name as broker and buyer.  No they would not give him any commission.  We have closed WF SS before with dual agency and we get paid.  We have a huge office and there is a high degree of chance someone in our office will bring an offer.
