Q: We settled the sale of our Bay Area home and moved to Arizona. The seller’s agent we used recently contacted us for help in resolving the brokerage fees paid by us. We knew there was some conflict between the buyer’s agent and our seller’s agent before the close of escrow. However, we bought the Arizona home contingent upon the successful sale and closing of our Bay Area house. As a result, we insisted that the brokers not jeopardize our transaction and instead settle their disputes after the close of escrow.

Yesterday, our seller’s agent left a voicemail asking us to be witnesses in his pursuit of the buyer’s agent’s brokerage fee. According to our seller’s agent, he showed our home to the eventual homebuyers after they called about one of his advertisements. He also sent all the reports, inspections and disclosures to the first-time homebuyers and their parents. The following week, the same homebuyers, represented by a different realty firm, proposed a purchase offer on our home, which we accepted. Consequently, our seller’s agent feels he is the procuring cause of the sale and deserves the brokerage fee paid to the realty brokerage firm and buyer’s agent who represented the homebuyers.
