I'm still not sure I was wound up. I just asked a simple question. You're right in that she hasn't asked me to pay anything, but unless she's working on a flat fee from him, her commission is going to play a role in the negotiations of the price. If not explicitly from my side, it will on his side, and that will affect me.

And I would have no problem if she contacted me first from the get go. Was just strange speaking with him a few times and then she jumps in.

So it's fricking extortion?


Maybe just a tad wound up?

If you get a written offer in hand, I'd still be curious to know how it plays out though.

Not trying to be humorous, but maybe after speaking with you a few times the buyer felt representation was necessary.

The simple answer is full disclosure. The next time you speak to either notify them that no compensation to agents were expressed or implied. If buyer wishes to finance realtors commissions into purchase price that is fine assuming it appraises for inflated sales price.

Don't go all Big Worm on principalities and lose a sale.
