I would ask why the broker is demanding this? Does he/she feel as if they are getting blocked out of commission? No signed contract with buyer and only word of mouth to connect you two and feels like should Be compensated?

Depends on how good the deal is, if you want it done quick and there are many other buyers, you are giving the broker an extra incentive to work with you instead of other buyers. I would ask the seller first, lack of disclosure kill deals.
