^{Who Pays the Fee?}

^{Agents are usually paid from the Listing Broker who offers the property for sale on behalf of their Listed Seller Clients When no other Broker is involved and you buy a property directly from an owner, our fee will be included in your offer amount It is paid to us at the closing from the proceeds of the sale just like the bank,
the attorneys & all other professionals involved in the transaction.}

^{"Don't ever buy a property directly from the listing broker. Having your own agent will help you get the best price and terms. It won't increase your costs, because your agent shares the commission with the listing broker. This percentage amount is previously determined in the listing agreement and will be paid according to that agreement, usually when the          transaction closes."
