In NC, if the agent was the procuring cause, you might have to. Agents invest time and money marketing your property. If that marketing effort generator a sales lead, you may owe the agent a commission.

in the uk:.....
estate agents are entitled to commission even if they didn't introduce you to the buyer. Check out your contract, staggering but true, not everyone realises this, including a few answerers here.
However, once you instruct them its off the market they will not care. They have this happen to them all the time.
take it off the market with a plausible reason, then sell it quietly to the buyer.

As long as the investor did not come through the estate agent no you do not. You may have to pay for any advertising though - check what you signed for and the term before doing anything.

If the investor heard about your house through the estate agents then YES.
If the investor found out about your house through other means then NO.
If you've got a board outside your house it will be hard to prove that the investor didn't find out via the estate agents.

check the agreement you signed because usually the Estate Agent will stipulate that you are liable for reasonable costs they incurred when advertising, going on viewings etc. Here in Norther Ireland i know one who charges £500.

No, you should only have to pay an estate agent if they sell the property for you. If not then you shouldnt have to pay anything.
