Can a Non-Licensee Receive a Commission?
I am an investor and a licensee in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In reviewing properties for sale, I located one that fit all my criteria. The property is an REO and the listing says that no commission will be paid to the cooperating broker if the party to the transaction is a licensee. Can they do that?
I represent a buyer in a transaction who made an offer on a property that was accepted by the seller. The MLS listing stated under agent compensation that a bonus was going to be paid. At settlement, I received the commission offered, but no bonus. When I asked the broker, he told me that the offer of a bonus was predicated on a full price offer. However, that was not stated anywhere on the listing. Am I entitled to the bonus?
