The contract will be valid. Generally, the death of the seller will delay the closing until a probate procedure is filed and the court allows the sale of the real estate by the estate representative.

At what time in a real estate transaction is it considered a real estate commission is earned?

Simple answer: The commission and when it has been earned will be spelled out in the contract between the agent and the party that is agreeing to pay a commission. Read the contract. The contract takes precedence over market practice. Market Practice: In most US states, commission is PAID at the closing or settlement. It is EARNED from the initial meeting with the buyer &/or seller for the specific transaction through to the day of closing/settlement, although there is no guarantee of payment until closing/settlement. In other words, the real estate professional works in good faith for the client with no payment for their work until the transaction closes/settles. There are circumstances where the parties to a transaction are bound by agreements that stipulate payment, under the terms of the agreement, to the real estate professional regardless and sometimes in spite of settlement/closing taking place (or not taking place).


Does a real estate contract become void if the buyer does not show on closing day?

It doesn't become void unless the other party wants to void the contract. The seller can use that failure to show up at the closing to void the contract but there are further consequences for the buyer. Not showing up for the closing is a breach of the contract and generally the seller can keep any deposit as long as that provision was recited in the sales contract. You should consult with an attorney.It doesn't become void unless the other party wants to void the contract.

When renegotiating conscessions in a real estate contract gets convoluted?

Remember to a seller they want to know what their 'net' price is on a sale of real estate property. So however you negotiate such things as closing cost concessions or any credits or share of repair costs for the property, it means less monies for the seller. Simpler is better in a real estate contract. In a hot market, concessions requested may put you as a buyer at a disadvantage in obtaining the property. In a slower selling market, as a buyer you may have more leverage to request closing cost credits or repairs being done prior to closing. A knowledgeable real estate agent should be able to guide you well in either market.
