I'm Not Happy | AITA?

Listed a property for sale; 1.75M. A local broker, acquaintance has advised me to use a particular broker/agent. Later my acquaintance told me he talked my broker/agent into giving him a finder's fee. He emails me: "I will give you 10% of what we get paid in the form of a gift certificate of your choice." My broker/agent tells me the finders fee he is paying is 20% (doesn't say of what). Somehow that just rubs me the wrong way. Am I the ******* here?

Since the property is currently rented at 5,500/mo - paid up through July 31st with a 5,500 deposit too; my broker/agent wants me to refund remaining months after closing; likely March 31st. I don't like the idea of giving money way. Maybe I'm just being too sensitive?!

Thoughts?
