Has anyone dealt with a business broker that required you to engage their services as a buyer's advocate simply to look at listing information? Gottesman Company had a business listed and my assumption is that this would make them the selling agent, but before they would send me any financial information on the business, I had to become a registered buyer of theirs, and as an example, were we to purchase the business for $10million, we would owe Gottesman Company $320,000 in fees.
I've heard of similar things but have never come across it. Seems really weird and completely counterproductive to selling their listing.
Requirement to engage buyer agent to look at a listing?
