Purchasing Home in NYC - Real Estate, Buyer/Seller Disclosure Form and Commission Rebate.

Hi,

I'm currently in the process of purchasing a home in NYC. My agent is a family friend that is recommended to me. I did most of the negotiation myself and but he did arrange for us for viewings/drive around with us. I'm primarily using him as he will kick back 50% of the commission back to us.

The home I'm in contract for is 1.26M and the buyer agent fee is 1.5% ($18,900). He said he'll just give me 7.6k (approx 40% of the upfront price as he will need to pay his brokerage firm 10% and taxes as well) - is this fair? When is this decided, should I get this legally added in (the contract is already executed).

I was reading that this is completely legal and some people use the kickback as a credit instead to avoid upfront taxes/fees. Is this something I should ask for instead? Perhaps get 9k in credits and I cut him a check for $9900 at closing.

​

Also he is asking for me to sign this form: https://imgur.com/a/VxKaEpH

It's checked that he is the acting as the "Seller's Agent" but I'm the buyer.. I'm confused.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
