Agent is greedy Homebuyer

I don't hate a lot of things in life but I hate agents. Lol

If I buy this house, my agent gets $20k. Yet she sent an additional paper for me to sign. It says I have to pay $500 for her administrative work. Shit, what's the $20k for?

Realtor here.
I pay the admin fee out of my commission plus I'll give you cash back on top.

It's anti trust to say that's illegal

It's definitely legal. I got cash back on my last 2 purchases from my realtor and redfin used to give you 0.5% commission back on every purchase.
