procuring cause?

[waterboy178]

I unknowingly made the mistake of viewing a house with the listing agent before having a buyer's agent of my own. I would like to do so with an agent of my choosing, someone that I feel can fairly represent my best interest and ensure any necessary information is disclosed properly. Will the listing agent now be able to claim the buyers portion of the commission? What other legalities may be involved?

Yes they are entitled to a full commission if you buy the home. You can always elect to pay a premium for a buyers agent. It will likely be 1/2 more the percentage that the first agent is already entitled to.
