Real estate agent commission when wholesaling

[Dan Miller]

In a wholesale deal where I assign the contract to a buyer, how does my real estate agent, who may have helped me identify the property in the first place, get paid? Do I pay him/her directly? Does the seller still pay the commission even though I'm no longer directly invovled in the sale? How does this work for a straight assignment? What about for a double closing?

Thanks!
