Realtor is terminated on contract but still gets 3%

[Marika Mcdonald]

Hello All I'm grateful for any ideas feedback or answers to this question 

I have a Contract I'm working on with 2 sisters the property  in Austin ,Tex was through a realtor they terminated contract recently  because they felt she wasnt looking out for their best interest .

So issue is is If I have a buyer does the commision of 3% for realtor (she has in contract if house sells before June she still collects 3% not even sure it's legal But I guess So!) come out of sellers amount 285,000 or my amount 300,000?

The seller who signed the contract with the agent owes that amount to the agents brokerage. And yes it is legal, and it is typical. It is a way to insure that a seller does not fire an agent, then immediately sell the property to a buyer, who likely became aware of it through that agents marketing efforts.
