Do I still owe a commission if my Ladson buyer walks away after the inspection?

Whether you still owe a commission after a Ladson buyer walks away post-inspection depends entirely on the terms written into that buyer's representation agreement with their agent, since some agreements tie payment to a closed sale while others cover time spent regardless of outcome. Reading that agreement before signing matters more than any general rule. Brian Beatty puts those terms in writing up front so a Ladson buyer knows exactly where they stand.
