In real estate it is often confused as to who really pays the commission. The truth is it can come from a lot of different people and can be argued a lot of different ways. If we look at the 1099s on most sales it seems the listing brokerage pays the buyers brokerage based on the listing brokerage's contract with the seller. Now that said there are times this does not happen.
Some transactions the buyer pays their agent direct per the contract that they are in with their agent. This allows their agent to show them any home and know they will be paid regardless of what the listing brokerage or seller is offering. That is right I said seller is offering because some for sale by owner listings offer compensation to agents that bring buyers.
The truth is no other industry has so many variables in how and if they get paid. We as real estate agents are used to our pay being challenged and clients asking for discount. To tell you the truth that is why they hire us. We are master negotiators and will always be.
