Some current or near future home buyers may be amidst conversations with their agent... learning that they need to sign a buyer brokerage agreement... that outlines that they will be paying for their buyer's agent's services... and might be wondering... How Will I Pay For The Services Of My Buyer Agent In Addition To Paying For The House? Two immediate thoughts come to mind... [1] Plenty of home sellers (maybe most of them?) will likely be planning to pay for the buyer's agent commission out of the sales price of the house that you are paying them. You shouldn't assume this is the case... but your buyer agent can ask if a seller is planning to pay the buyer agent's commission. If the answer is "no" you can always propose that as a part of the offer that you make. [2] For any sellers that are not planning to pay for the buyer agent's commission... some buyers will be more capable than others to pay for the house plus pay for their buyer agent's commission. This popular listings with many offers this will likely be more of an issue for buyers (help - I can't pay for your house plus for my agent's services) than it will be for sellers.
