What to offer an agent through a lease-to-own option
Hi! I'm curious about the lease-to-own option. If a seller were willing to sign a lease-to-own option, where the buyer has 5 years to buy the property, how would that deal look for the real estate agents? Would you pay the commission during the time of signing this lease-to-own agreement, or when the property actually gets purchased? Wouldn't an agent be less motivated to push lease-to-own options if there's a risk of the buyer not purchasing the property in the end?
