Thank you @John Cohen . What would your advice be from here? Deal with it or forget about the property. Or is there a possibility of being creative and finding a way to not deal with the Brokerage.

The listing agent is unwilling to sign an agreement to share the commission. Is this out of the ordinary? This is my dilemma. I don't want to business with the listing agent for numerous reasons.

Thank you for the advice Dan! I did do all the leg work myself. My issue is besides the fact my mother in law is an agent; the brokerage that listed the property is not a reputable company. One in which I refuse to let represent me as a potential buyer; besides the broker is best friends with the property owner and how should I expect him to have any of my interests in mind? Is it normal for a brokerage to refuse to let the potential buyer be represented by his own REA?

Thank you Mark. Here is a problem I recently came accross. What would be my best chance of getting some good advice here on bp? A friend of mine and I are looking at a commercial real estate property listed through Real Estate 7 brokerage in Devils Lake, ND. My mother in Law is a licensed real estate agent at a competing brokerage. I initially stopped in at the business to introduce myself and tell them I was interested in the possibility of purchasing the business as long as I could have my mother in law represent me as the potential buyer. She (The owner) said she had no problem with that, but when I had my mother in law contact the agency(Real Estate 7)they said they would not allow it. What do I do from here?

Looking for opportunities to network and learn.
