A seller on the other hand has a contract with an agent. They negotiate a commission and the funds for paying the stated commission are TAKEN OUT OF THE SELLER'S PROFIT.
A buyer could care less if an agent gets paid. He is not legally bound to pay an agent.THE SELLER IS! Therefore, all real estate agents represent the seller.
