My Realitor wants a "PREMIUM" (side money)

[Chris Toedter]

So I am in the process of buying a multi-Family property and in the middle of the closing process my Realtor told me there is a "PREMIUM" on this property. I had no idea what he was talking about until he basically told me I want 5 to 10 thousand dollars on the side for the property. As stuff got more shady I am tempted to not pay him at all I was going to give him a thank you bonus but this makes things very different in the 1 the relationship and 2 the business I want to do going forward.

Any suggestions or this every happen to anyone else?
