Sellers add the commission into their sales price if the property is listed with an agent.
They are expecting to pay a commission. Usually it is split between the listing company and the company representing the buyer. If there is no one representing the buyer, the listing company keeps all of the commission. In short, there will be a commission paid, the question is whether or not part of it will be paid to the Buyer's Agent who is representing you, or will all of it be paid to the agent representing the seller. Most FSBOs also add a commission into their sales price, because they know that most buyers have agents representing them.
