The total commission amount should be in the listing agreement. If your listing agent has agreed to sell your home for 6% and another agent decides to buy it, your listing agent is responsible for paying that agent's commission out of the 6% commission you have agreed to pay them for procuring a buyer. They are not allowed to unilaterally demand a separate commission for the other agent. If they try to force you to pay extra commission above the original amount you agreed to pay you should contact that agent's broker in charge. If you do not get satisfaction from the broker in charge then contact your state's real estate Commission and complain long and loudly.

Is a real estate agent a party to the transaction?

Usually a real estate agent is not a party to the transaction, unless that agent is either the seller or buyer or has an interest in either side. The fact that he may be representing either the buyer or seller or even both does not make him or her an interested party in the agreement. Most states real estate laws clearly state that should an agent have an interest in either side of the tranaction then both parties must be notified for that interest. Thats why you often see and agent sellling his own home, even as a for sale by owner, the advertising and signs should mention that the home is agent owned. Its all about ethics more than the law.
