I see realtors here discuss procuring cause as if this legal concept only applies to real estate deal. Procuring cause is a legal principle and is not limited to any specific industry. I wonder how Dorene got a broker license, because she is grossly misinforming the public. She should be removed from this chat line, and her her broker license should be suspended until she becomes better educated. It is people like this who give all of you a bad name. And, just how does one like her manage to get a broker license? - Sun Mar 9 2008, 10:43

I am not a realtor, but I work in sales. Commissioned salespeople depend upon the integrity of the customers. The first realtor should get paid. If the second realtor was duped by you, you should pay him. If the second realtor knew he was stealing someone else's sale, tough luck.

Essential, no. You CAN buy without a realtor, but it is not wise unless you have done it several times. Get your own realtor. Do not use the same one as the seller. - Fri Feb 29 2008, 09:03
