If you buy a foreclosed home, does your agent still get a commission?

Val asked:


We’re looking to buy a forclosure and we work with an agent. Normally, if we were to buy a home sold by an actual seller, their agent and my agent split the commission at the end. However, with a forclosure, you’re dealing with the bank. So how exactly does that work? Would we be responsible for our agent’s commission?

    Did your agent make you sign a contract saying that they are your exclusive agent and if you buy a property, even without there help, they will get a commission?
