Agent on vacation - use another but split commission with my agent

[Daria B.]

Good morning-

My agent is going on vacation and I don't work with anyone else related to her office or any other office. I also don't have anything that is an agreement between me and my agent. She's just my agent and have purchased 2 homes previously using her as my agent.

For those that use an agent is it acceptable to have my agent receive a cut if another agent steps in while my agent is gone? 

I'm looking at some properties - one through my agent - offer was verbally presented and seller agent was instructed by their client to not come at them with any offers lower than what is listed (this one is marinating) - other properties have not put in an offer and likely something will come up when my agent is on vacation.

Now the one that she and I looked at I know if something materializes while she is gone, it is her deal.

How about others that I find myself with no help from an agent - and actually most all are found by me - and I go to an agent other  than my own, or my agent days "go to this person while I'm gone"? 

What's the agent speak here - I'm not one so I don't know the club handshake.....
