When Realtor represents seller. If buyer has no Realtor does sellers agent receive (total) 6% commission?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

sometimes yes. However seller must give the Realtor in contract the right to dual agency. In some states this is not allowed- remember the agent of the seller is representing the seller to begin with and has the best interest of the seller first.

Answer 3

Maybe, maybe not.

If the buyer is not represented by an agent, the sellers agent might only charge the seller part of the commission that was originally agreed upon between the seller and agent.

It really depends on the wording of the agreement between the seller and agent.

Answer 4

The answer depends on the language in the Listing Agreement and the relationship between the agent and client. Our practice on this situation is usually left to the agent. Sometimes they give the seller a break on the commission, sometimes they don't. Each situation is different. I've even seen an agent not give the commission break, but then put in a hot tub for the client's new home!

Answer 5

Yes. But it's not always 6%. If the Seller shows the home and the Buyer uses me in a dual agency role, I discount so that the Seller gets more money. All agents don't do this.

Answer 6

Yes, and a smart buyer would take that as a chance to negotiate a better deal. You've got potentially 3% to play with. Try to get 1% for yourself, 1% for the seller, and the realtor gets 4%, which is still a better than usual deal for them.

Answer 7

Yes unless the agent gave the seller a reduced commission if he/she sold the property with out a co broke. Something like 6% with a co broke 5% with out.
