Not usually - unless you agree to pay the real estate agent to act as your (buyer's) agent, which is possible in some jurisdictions (normally, the realtor is acting exclusively for the benefit of the seller, even if he seems to be helping you). |

No. You do not have to pay a real estate agent if you don't buy. The seller will lose a portion of the sale to the Realtor. Realtors are paid on a commission basis. |

no, their job is to show you the house, take advantage of them, we had ours show us every weekend for 6 weeks before we bought one. They will make money sooner or later. make them work for it and find your dream home. |

absolutely not! you can see many houses and is not obligated to buy. However, if you're serious about buying, do not waste their time. Everyone has to work hard for their money and so is real estate agents.
But feel free to waste those real estate agents that are only selling million dollars homes.....commission on 1 house is equivalent to 2 yrs worth of salary for a degree professional....if you can.....those guys probably wouldn't even look at people like you an I w/ half their eyes...showing us houses (unless they're on TV). |

If you mean that you don't buy anything at all, then no.
But if you don't buy from that agent, but buy from another agent, you may possibly owe a commission. Here's why:
Many agents are now asking buyers to sign a "Buyer Representation Agreement". There are 2 types: Non-Exclusive and Exclusive. The laws vary in each state, but please beware that in some states if you sign a Buyer Representation Agreement (Exclusive), many of these agreements state that you will personally owe a commission to that agent if you buy a property from another broker. Some may even state that you owe if you buy an unlisted property directly from an owner.
This is something that ALL buyers need to be aware of. Please read any and all agreements before you sign them. And if you don't understand, please ask someone to explain it to you before you sign it. |

Depends on your contract with the agent. In most cases, no. |
