The Seller Pays All The Commission -- that's right, in almost every transaction, the seller pays all of the agent's commissions. And the seller has a Professional Agent representing his/her interest, not yours. You had better have someone representing your interest, and that individual better be a full-time Professional Realtor with as much or more experience than the seller's.

There are also a few other details someone better be extremely current with:

• Appraisals -- there are many different kinds of appraisals, you better know the difference or you may well offer more than you should.
• Home Warranties -- many sellers have purchased a warranty that will prevent you from having expensive "surprises" after closing.
• Mortgages -- there are so many different plans available these days, not really knowing the differences can cost you thousands of dollars. The seller's agent is not responsible for advising when you are about to do something really costly -- that is why you better have someone on your side with your best interest at heart.
• Did we mention that in almost every case, all of the agent's fees are paid for by the seller.
