Real Estate Agent Wars Over Procuring Cause

In an ideal world, every single home buyer will have singled out a perfect real estate agent and happily tour homes, write offers and finally buy that perfect home through that perfect agent. But nothing works that way in real life. Sometimes an agent just happens to be in the right place at the right time. Unfortunately, sometimes that agent is only one of many agents the buyer has worked with, so when the time comes to get paid, the line for that commission check winds around the block.

There are times you can hear gunfire from the closing table as casualties drop like flies during arguments over procuring cause. Have you ever felt like you were stuck in the middle of these battles? It's not pleasant for anybody, least of all the buyer.
