Recently, the house next to ours was bought by a company that will be
demolishing it and building an apartment complex in that space. They have
made an offer to buy our house and have sent an agent with an offer. As
part of the closing costs, there are broker fees. My question is, are they
trying to screw us out of paying the broker's comission? Shouldn't the
buyer that hired the broker be paying this?

Thanks.
