Brokers commission on seller finance

Hi Everyone,

I had a question come up today about owner-financed deals, and I need a clear, concise answer to give a broker. I’d appreciate your insight on the following:

When a seller offers owner financing, is the broker’s commission normally paid in full at closing?
If not, is it ever structured as payments over time alongside the seller’s note?
What’s the standard or most common practice in your experience?

Looking for a clean, cut-and-dry explanation I can relay back. Thank you all.
