Real Estate Agent Commission? - Lease to Purchase

Greg Mercer
  • Mobile, AL
Posted

I was looking to lease my primary residence out while I travel for the next couple years.

One of the gentlemen who was looking to lease asked if I would be willing to sell.  I told him if he would offer me xxx dollars, I would be willing to sell.

I guess that price was OK with him because he said his agent was writing up a contract for me to take a look at today.

I listed it myself (craigslist, zillow, etc. NO MLS) and he found my lease through zillow, he came and saw my house once without his agent, then again today with an agent.

My question, I imagine his agent is going to want some kind of commission.

All she has done, from what I can tell is help draft a contract.  What is standard procedure here?  I obviously don't want to pay her any commission at all, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if I gave her $1,000 or so.

Thoughts?
