Is my realtor trying to fool me about the commission
Selling my house in the Chicago suburbs. My realtor sent me the agreement which shows 4.25% seller brokerage commission, while the buyer’s agent commission is left blank.
When I asked why, he said the 4.25% is the total commission, I pay his brokerage, and they pay the buyer’s agent out of it.
Is this actually how it works, or is he trying to lock me into paying 4.25% when I only want to do 2%? Something doesn’t feel right. Is he fooling me into this?
