    Your friend can stand back and watch the fireworks, it is not a problem for him. The seller has not reckoned with a hungry Agent [very hungry these days], looking for his commission. It is enough that your friend got an appointment through the agent.

    Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people
    Had forfeited the confidence of the government And could win it back only
    By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government
    To dissolve the people
    And elect another?

    I think that Estate Agents are quite used to dealing with this. I would be pretty sure that there is a well trodden path for dealing with it.

    But they introduced the buyer to the vendor, hence they introduced the sale. This actually counts as a sale under the terms of EA's contracts. The vendor has breached the contract with the EA by 'withdrawing' from the market and then selling behind the EAs back to someone the EA introduced them to. No wonder the EA isn't happy!!

    It would be the case if the seller WASN'T SELLING IT.

    He is. To your friend.
  • what if he sold it to someone who the ea didnt introduce them to him? would he still need to pay them commission even if he did all the work himself with advertising privately?

    No, there is no getting out of this. It is pay fees to comply with the contract.
