We put in a straightforward offer, if it is accepted then our agent said we can always amend to include the commission if the seller is amenable.

A little more cost then just an assignment but it accomplishes the same thing.You could also amend your contract with the bank to add add your buyer to the contract.

I'm amending my opinion on this as I was just reminded of something Kiyosaki said at a Learning Annex a few years back here in Chicago (yeah, I'm only quoting other folks in this thread but they're right).

Look under termination, dissolve, amend, etc.

Here's one part of the bill called the Hope for Homeowner's program: H.R.3221Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (Engrossed Amendment as Agreed to by Senate)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------`SEC. 257.

The later you file, the more of those random slots are filled.Now, if you do something stupid like omit income for which you received a 1099 or W-2 you will first get a notice that they amended your return for you and telling you how much you owe.

You can thank the Second Amendment for that.

That's not good business for the agent.If you get the chance, you might want to read a bit about what the National Association of Realtors is doing to help ease tax burdens for home owners, to assist home owners obtaining affordable home insurance, levying with politicians to bring tax reform and property amendments to many areas of the country.I hope this helps you.

A buyer will not (I repeat) have any idea where to go for a contract or how to get a copy of one to even amend...so help them get to the information as much as possible.
