Wow! Buying/selling property in the US. is so complicated, and expensive.
Here in the UK you search online, find something you like, contact the relevant listing agent, ask for a viewing, make an offer, or submit a sealed bid, and that's it.
Seller gets the fees.
Never heard of a buying agent.
The listing agent is the intermediary between seller and buyer.
We have never paid more than paid 1.5% once and 1% selling fees for all other house purchases. Probably a little more these days, but commission is definitely negotiable.
Sold the last two myself.
Buyer's other fees, are for a survey, and deed conveyancing.
