Michael discusses who represents the buyer and seller and who pays the listing agent. In today's HOT apartment market…most apartment listing agents WILL NOT share the sales commission with a buyer's representative. Unlike the single family home market, where it is typical for the listing agent to share or split commission fees, most apartment listing brokers will not pay your agent representing you. If you have buyer's agent in a buyer's transaction, you will likely be paying that agent out of your capital raise.
