Apparently, she had to split her commission with the first agent, even though I "fired him for cause". It didn't cost me any more, but it bothered me that the agent I purposely left still got paid for me buying a house he had nothing to do with.

It sounds like you didn't have a buyer's contract, in which case, you did not pay any commission. If you bought a new house, then The Villages broker paid the commission. If you bought a resale house, then the seller paid the commission. But, in either case, you shouldn't be annoyed because you didn't pay a commission. If anyone is annoyed, it should be the agent who had to split their commission.
