Hey Guys,

While many of you may know that, if theres a seller's agent and they find a buyer for a property and the deal closes, ultimately the commission will come out of the sales price and the seller receives less money in the end. I wanted to ask if the seller can negotiate if the buyer can pay the agents fee and the seller retains the majority of the Money. Is this possible as long as both parties agree.

No real value or savings....any buyer will just add the fee to purchase price in their mind, when negotiating.  Also, additional cash out of a buyer’s pocket is not something most financed buyers are looking for.
