OfflineSomething I've never really thought about until now. How does an agent get paid when a seller does financing?

If the real estate agent represents the seller, the seller is still obligated to pay the real estate agent the commission. If you are the buyer and your agent finds a FSBO, you should work out a payment with your agent. A key rule of thumb is create win-win deals and keep everyone happy with payment. Sometimes even a real estate may take their commission over time if it means selling a home that has been on the market for a while. I hope this helps. Happy Halloween. Believe and Achieve!

I was wondering about that, too. If you don't already have a Promissory Note with the agent, they have to make their commission at closing. So, any "no money down" deal would have to either pay that commission with credits coming form the seller, or the deal would have to pay it some other way, right?

What if we both have an agent? The agent I've been working with showed me the property and the seller listed the property with the agent. So the seller would pay 3% to the listing agent and buyer's agent correct?
