Realtor fees are negotiable, so it could be the seller, buyer or both.

Generally the seller will pay the commission and be put in the contract. The other way is for the buyer to pay for the real estate agent commission, though if the buyer pays for the commission then is the buyer going to be willing to pay you the same amount they would have if seller was paying for the commission. In most cases it tends to be a wash. Who ever pays for the commission the seller generally nets about the same amount regardless.

Hi! Typically seller pays the realtor fees for a sale of any home. Although remember it is part of the contract and it is always negotiable.

If I sell my home, will my boyfriend receive part of the sale?
I wanted some clarification before deciding to put my home on the market. My boyfriend and I purchased a home together several years ago. We split up so he signed a quitclaim deed but is obviously still on the loan. If I want to sell my home that I have been making payments on myself for the last 8 years. Does he need to sign anything and would he be entitled to any of the sale money?
