Thanks a lot for the reply

Actually we never appointed an agent.The seller's agent was helping us to negotiate and do the paper work.

And our 1st appointment is coming in September.We got the invoice already from the realtor company for paying the agent fee.But we were under the impression that fee needs to be paid at 2nd appointment.

We are a bit worried as how to pay before the transactions are complete

We also received the invoice after the 1st appt...bt we ignore as the transaction is not complete and

we pay up at the 2nd appt...

Pay after the second appt cos once when u pay after the first appt,for example u need them to get some info from them or inspect the house they will slowly take their time or keep postpone cos the money is in their pocket already....

Thanks.

Well said.Even we were thinking of the same possibility.We contacted the agent.But he said that we have to pay the agent fee on the payment date mentioned in the invoice.That is 1st appointment.He said its the companys policy and formality.

We told him that as buyers we are not happy to pay money initially when many formalities like inspections are not complete.He is telling us not to worry on such matters as he will be arranging everythg and will be with us till resale completion.

We are not really convinced but it seems we may have to pay fee at 1st appointment.

Anyways hope everythg goes well.
