Can a buyer ask the seller to pay the buyer’s broker in further conditions on the PA? Is it OK if, as soon as we get a showing notification, we e-mail/text/call the buyer’s agent and let that person know we will co-op a commission?

Can a buyer ask the seller to pay the buyer’s broker in further conditions on the PA? Is it OK if, as soon as we get a showing notification, we e-mail/text/call the buyer’s agent and let that person know we will co-op a commission?

Yes. E-mailing, texting, or calling are acceptable means for you to communicate individually with the agents you need to communicate with. The conversation just can’t be facilitated through the BLC.  

As far as the purchase agreement, IAR currently recommends using the Further Conditions section, however IAR will be releasing a form addendum to the purchase agreement specifically for this purpose. We expect this addendum to be available prior to July 1st.
