If we find the buyer for our house directly, do we pay less in commission to the agent?

If you signed a listing agreement, you are obligated to pay the agreed upon amount regardless of who procures the buyer because the negotiated fee is for listing the property. However, the listing agent may be willing to refund a portion of the money back to you (documented on the HUD-1 form) if you find your own buyer.
Hope this helps!

You are obligated to abide by the agreement as all have made clear, however have a discussion with the agent they may be willing to accommodate your efforts in finding the buyer in some way. Just ask.

In paragraph 5 of the listing agreement between you and your agent the brokerage fees are stated. You are obligated by this contract to pay the fees that are listed in paragraph 5. If you haven't signed a listing agreement yet, you could try to negotiate a separate agreement for the situation you described, should it occur.

Commissions are always negotiable. When you bought the home you received in an essence a "free service/representation" since the seller paid it for you. However now that you are trying to sell, you are the one responsible for the fees. If you find a buyer and the buyer waives representation; then you will only be responsible for paying the commission of your agent. If you have questions I would love to try to answer them.--Yenis Maldonado yenis.m@kw.com Keller Williams Realty Memorial

If you have a listing agreement with an agent you would be bound by the agreement. If you have not listed your home or signed a listing agreement an agent may facilitate the transaction from contract to close for fee. All fees are negotiable.
