To pay 3% commision or not

I will start of by saying a kick *** realtor for the buyer got my house sold. With out going over all the details, I never listed the house for sale due to saving on the cost of realty fees. This is a house that didn't need to be listed due to is prime location. Once people find out that a unit of this size became available, 4 bed 2 bath NYC under $600,000, people came flocking. Issue is that I needed to find qualified buyers. This realtor pushed some buttons and was able to get the deal done. Do I pay the realtor the 3% that she is requesting?

Thanks

You should not be required to unless you signed an agreement. What is likely happening is that your buyer signed an agreement with that agent and they will now be responsible to pay their agent's commission and they are asking you to cover that cost.

If the sale is already final, than no you do not need to pay it
