Q: I requested a showing of a for sale by owner home. When I hit the website button (request showing) a realtor contacted
Me. No contract signed with her. Do I owe her a commission if I purchase the home?
A: Traditionally, in NJ, sellers pay the full realtor commission. However, if you made some statement that could lead the realtor to believe that you had a verbal agreement to pay part of the realtor's commission, then you may have a verbal contract with the realtor.
