The buyer doesn’t pay for any real estate fees for their services they obtain through the process because it’s paid by the seller. They then sell a couple years later for $250,000 and includes $12,500 (5%) for real estate services. $10,000 of that money was already included in the house so essentially $2,500 is coming out of the homeowners’ pocket for all the services required for both sides the transaction.
