Yes, the buyer, not the buyer agent. 

There are some ways around this, but it's not in your best interest.The fact is, a buyer's agent doesn't get paid unless you buy a property.

Let's think about how real estate agents get paid:The buyer and their agent should decide how much the buyer's agent is paid, not the seller.

I would look for an experienced agent of my own who understands what is standard for your market.

With the new commission rules you can stay flexible with an offer of buyer agent commission, rather than having to commit to a certain percentage going to the buyer agent upfront. 

I've been a BP Featured Agent for many years, targeting multifamily investors and house-hackers.

Hello, after the lawsuit are buyers representation necessary and required?

What off-market really means is that the seller refuses to sign an exclusive listing agreement with an agent but tells the agent if they bring them a buyer, they'll payout a commission.

Should I just add them to my 'Cash Buyer List' and move on?

No sure about that as buyers want to see the finished product and showing them before pictures will often not be well received.That's funny, my wife said the exact same thing about showing them the before pictures.
