No set fee...for years is was about $100 for 10 days....walk away and seller keeps it....move forward and it goes towards your purchase price.....Gradually it has gone up and the # of days has gone down....from 10 it went to 7 days...last 3 years or so I have seen go to 5 and often 3 days...and not uncommon now to have NO due diligence period.

It's a matter of professional courtesy, and is the source of many ethics complaints/violations.You are correct that it's more fluid on the buying side than on the listing side, but it is not uncommon for Realtors to have exclusive buyer's agency agreements with their clients, so we have to ask.As this thread shows, opinions will vary on whether it's worth each party's time and effort to work in a non-exclusive arrangement...personally, I don't have a problem with it, but it depends on the person and the relationship, and it has to be mutually beneficial.
