If a seller finds a buyer within a specific timeframe, what happens regarding commission?

When a seller finds a buyer within a specific timeframe, the circumstances around commission depend on the agreements made in the listing contract. If the contract includes specific conditions stating that no commission will be owed if the seller brings in their own buyer, then this aligns with the option that no commission will be charged if those conditions are met.

This reflects common practices in real estate transactions, where sellers may negotiate terms that allow them to bypass commission fees to agents if they directly secure a buyer themselves. It's important for sellers to be aware of these terms before entering into a listing agreement to ensure they understand when and how commissions will be applied.

In contrast, factors like automatically owing commission, reduced rates, or the relationship with another agency do not universally determine commission obligations in the scenario described, particularly if the seller successfully fulfills the conditions outlined in their agreement.
