[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This idea that an agent gets to charge more for an unrepresented buyer is truly hilarious. Where do agents come up with such stupid ideas? Can you imagine if a lawyer said they'd charge more for doing a case against a pro se plaintiff? An agent should welcome unrepresented people because they're more likely to make mistakes that would benefit the client, not act as though they're some sort of undue burden warranting extra compensation.[/quote]

It's common practice to charge an additional fee if you are working for the seller and the buyer. It still ends up being considerably less commission than if two agents are involved. I have only done this one time and I will not do it again. It's a disservice to the buyer and really complicates the transaction. [/quote]

OK, but a seller's agent is not working for an unrepresented buyer. The buyer has simply decided that he/she doesn't want representation. The seller's agent may find that to be inconvenient or annoying, or it may upset their world view as to how these transactions should work because it shows how agents are unnecessary, but the seller's agent doesn't represent an unrepresented buyer and has no rational justification for charging more in that scenario.[/quote]
