The expenses of selling are assumed by the broker as his business risk. The only exception (and this is rare) is where a specific agreement is made to reimburse the broker for expenses if he is unable to secure a buyer. Since the broker did not secure a purchaser, nor did you agree to reimburse him for expenses it is my opinion that you are under no further financial obligati cm to the broker. If he persists hi his claim, report the incident to your local board of realtors, L 1 nils Dramatic 2 level In Mt.
