Does it matter whether I refer them to an investor or agent?

[Sierrah Fanth]

I have recently met some families who are looking to buy on contract for deeds and rent to owns. Does it matter whether I find the seller through an agent who is selling off the MLS or investor who is selling an investment property? i.e. Will the families care whether they buy through an investor or agent? Because from what I understand, commission is paid by the seller anyhow, correct??

Also, If I do find a property that would fit this family's criteria, it would have to be through an investor in order to receive a referral fee, correct?

Thanks in advance
