If I'm listed with an agent, but I find the buyer.. do I have to pay full commission?

Profile picture for sportsean1
Some friends of ours have shown interest in buying our home.  It's currently listed with an agent that has managed only 3 showings in two months.  If we brought the buyers to the table, do we have to pay the agent the full 5 percent agreed upon?

If you have a Pennsylvania Exclusive Right to Sell contract you would be obligated to pay the agreed upon %. read over your listing agreement and see if it is specifically listed, in PA lines 42-48 (#7 A. and B.).

Good luck with your sale!

Yes you would. Read your contract to be double sure, but in most cases, you would owe the whole commission at any time during the listing period.
