Naturally, what’s the commission rate, the seller wants to make sure it’s only payable if and when there’s a closing. Does the finder have certain obligations to expend costs in marketing? They’re usually exclusive but the seller may try to negotiate a lower commission if it finds its own buyer. You would negotiate the add on period, how long after the period of time if a deal happens that was introduced during the term will the finder get compensated for.
