Seller Financing While Working With Agents?

[Samuel Vogt]

Has anyone ever worked with agents on a seller financing deal before?  How would that work if it is even possible? I've only thought of off-market scenarios where seller financing is an option. Is it even plausible if agents are involved?

My first reaction is that an agent(s) would not like this idea at all, as commissions would not be paid out, but rather than searching for an answer, I figured the BP community would be able to offer up some advice/real world situations on this relatively quickly.

It's actually easy and I've done them. You have to ensure the down-payment is large enough to pay the REALTOR fees at closing. Once the deal is sealed, the REALTOR gets paid and walks away. The remainder is between you and the seller.
