Does the Buyer or Seller
Pay the Buyer's Agent?
Real Estate in Corvallis and Albany, Oregon
Answer: In a traditional real estate transaction, the Seller has chosen to
work with a Seller’s Agent. The Seller’s Agent normally markets the home in
several different ways. One way the property is marketed is through the
Multiple Listing Service. In the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), the
Seller’s Agent agrees to pay a Buyer’s Agent a determined amount. In
short, the Seller pays the Seller’s Agent and the Seller’s Agent pays the
Buyer’s Agent. (a.k.a. Buyers work
with Buyer’s Agents for FREE!)
If I represent you in a
transaction with an Unrepresented Seller (For Sale By Owner), my commission
will be negotiated prior to any contract. In the past, I have found that For
Sale By Owner’s do not have a problem paying a commission to a Buyer’s Agent.
This is a card I received
from a For Sale By Owner who paid my commission.
Dear Terri -
Josh and I want to thank
you regarding your help with our recent house sale to Mike and Martha. We
certainly appreciate your willingness to work with “by owner” sellers. We felt
that the transaction went very smoothly and we are delighted to have Michael
and Mary in the house. Thanks again for your help, Terri! Hope this finds you
well.
Sincerely, Kate and Josh
