Thanks for the feedback. That's what I thought, but wasn't sure if this was common nowadays.

The agent told me that term is in most of their agreements and that it "basically helps us pay for our staff." That set off the alarms.

The part of the commission taken by the broker pays the staff.

I'd walk away and let them know why. If they're going to nickel and dime you for $250, can you trust them to get you the lowest possible purchase price?
