Compensation Agreements, Riders and Modifications
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
- This program discusses how and when to use the compensation agreement when a real estate agent is a buyer’s broker. We review both compensation agreements, Seller to Buyer’s Broker, Form CASB-1 and Seller’s Broker to Buyer’s Broker, Form CABB-1 (and their modification forms) in detail.
- Next, we talk about the two methods of compensation. The first method is direct compensation using the rider GG, Seller’s Agreement with respect to Buyer’s Broker Compensation. The second method is credit, in dollars, percentage, or both, using the rider FF, Credit related to Buyer’s Broker Compensation. We review both compensation riders/forms line by line, clause by clause.
- The buyer’s broker learns how to use each of these forms to assure she/he gets paid without incurring antitrust liability.
- Throughout the program we tackle frequently asked questions.
