Brokerage Fee Charged for Accepted Contracts

[Derek T.]

I was talking to the agent that I am working with as a buyer's agent and she told me there was a $350 brokerage fee that her company charges when contracts are accepted by the seller. The fee is a junk fee but she said it was standard in the industry. I don't have a buyer's ageement with her however I will set one up for each house I submit a contract for. I have no intentions on paying a brokerage fee for accepted contracts. Is there any advice you have to convince her office manager to waive the fee? I tried calling the national office but I didn't get an answer today.
