Thanks for the thoughtful response. But how is a buyer getting a portion of his agent’s commission different from a RE Broker representing himslef in a purchase and pocketing the whole commission? If it is all about disclosure, I guess yeah, maybe, its wise to have everything above board and disclosed, like even communications/agreements between an agent and his
client…(?)
Also, what if its an all cash deal? Would you still require disclosure to the seller that the buyer will be getting half of the commission? Or is it only necessary when a bank/loan is involved?
Anyway, its all crazy, and frought with conflicts under every stone, and will probably be winding down now that the information monopoly has been busted by the ‘net.
