However, is it NECESSARY? Hell no. And at the end of the day, who pays for this? That's right - the BUYER, not the seller anyway. And what's the benefit to the buyer exactly? (*cricket* *cricket*) Yeah, that's right.

things must be different in your neck of the woods. the costs (commission) comes out of the sale price, so the seller pays it NOT the buyer. car auctions (and probably more types of auctions) charge the buyer a fee as well as the seller but not in real estate.
