However, the seller's agent may push back - and there may be a fight over commission as the seller's agent will have a claim to both buyer and seller commission because they can claim that they're the "procuring cause" of the sale. 

Since I currently work as a Procurement Forester and I'm responsible for finding "deals", specifically buying timber from private landowners to sell to our sawmill facilities, the whole REI made sense to me from the land acquisition side.  

Another deal I procured by reaching out to the owner of an obviously distressed property.

My friend recently procured a house in Spokane, Wa for a great deal.

One caveat in the below analysis being that if your supplier is too small to procure a full futures contract they may be buying from a wholesaler so pricing will be higher.

Often times you get better matches when you skip trace with the data provider when procuring the leads.

I was thinking could that be more like when the listing agent procures a buyer they can reduce the commission as agreed. 

No. 2 paying this person may not be ideal in other ways as you could possibly get into issues with them having an assignable contract and not informing you, the seller not realizing they can't have an exclusive right to list contract with you and then you end up with the skip tracer coming back to you for more $ as the 'procuring cause' of the sale. 

It's pretty simple language.....it basically says the listing agent is entitled to X % when they procure a sale.
