In most cases, the seller pays the commission to both their own listing agent and the buyer's agent. This means that as a buyer, you can take advantage of the knowledge and expertise of a real estate agent without having to pay for their services out of pocket. However, it's important to clarify the commission structure with your agent and ensure that there are no hidden fees or costs associated with their services.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
