Who pays the commission?
This is an excellent question and has been discussed many times in relation to selling a house. Don't get caught by a bait and switch operation and pay more than you should to sell your home.
Does the buyer pay the commission, because they fund the transaction, without a buyer there is no transaction? Or does the seller pay the commission as it states on the listing agreement and it affects the net amount they receive? It often depends on your perspective. 
This post is in response to a recent discussion with a friend who listed with what they described as a hybrid option of selling their home to save some money. There are several interesting facets to the discussion.
We had sold them the house years ago and towards the end of 2017 they asked what they needed to do to get their home ready for sale in 2018. We advised them on several things and kept in touch, I saw them regularly at our local gym. One morning the wife let me know they were going to list with someone else because they wanted to save on the commission. I asked what they were going to be paying and she told me 2%.
