Here are a few steps you can take to ensure that you receive a commission refund:

Research the market: Before you begin negotiations, research the real estate market in your area to understand the typical commission rates for real estate agents. Knowing the standard commission rate will help you to understand what you should expect to pay and to negotiate better.

Prepare your case: Be prepared to explain why you think a commission refund is appropriate. For example, if you have sold your home quickly, or if you have done a significant amount of work to prepare your home for sale, you may be able to argue that you deserve a commission refund.

Have a specific number in mind: Have a specific number in mind for the commission refund you are requesting. This will help you to be more specific and clear in your negotiations.

Communicate your request: Contact your real estate agent and express your desire to negotiate a commission refund. Explain your reasons for requesting the refund, and be prepared to discuss your case in detail.

Negotiate with the agent: Once you have communicated your request to your agent, negotiate the terms of the commission refund. Be prepared to compromise and consider other options that may be proposed by your agent.

Get it in writing: Make sure that the commission refund is included in the written agreement with the agent, and that all the terms are clearly spelled out.

Speak with the broker: In some cases, the commission refund might require broker's approval, and if your agent is not able to offer you a commission refund, ask to speak with the broker to see if they can offer it.

It's important to remember that commission refunds are not common practice, and not all agents or brokers may be willing to offer it. Be prepared for some to decline your request, but don't be discouraged. It's also important to have a clear understanding of the terms and conditions of the commission refund offered, and to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.
