Q: Did I have to pay 6% commission fee?
A little over a year ago my husband and I were looking for a home to buy with no help from a realtor/agent. We found one via a model home. The builder is also a realtor and he is who we decided to build with. We did not use his services as a realtor/agent to help find us a home but he had us fill out a form stating him as our realtor/agent. We hired him to build our home by buying a home package from him and that is all.
My question is...did we have to pay a 6% commission fee?
A: This is a direct legal question, you will need to contact a lawyer directly because Justia's Q&A is only for general legal questions. As a general rule, you should review your agreement with the realtor/builder. While, most builders are not also realtors it is possible for both to apply (I do wonder about a conflict of interest vis-à-vis the realtor is also the seller...). In short, I highly recommend that you contact a lawyer.
