A buyer DOES NOT HAVE A CONTRACT The commission is something the seller agreed to pay from the sales when signing a contract with an agent. It is the seller's expense.
The buyer throughout the entire process has no idea what commission was paid and to whom. They are never a part of that. It is possible there is a clause in the seller's contract that states zero commission paid if home does not sell at agreed upon price.
