One nitpick: The Buyer Pays.

Even though the contract states that the seller is the one responsible for RE commissions, you have a transaction where one party (the Buyer) is bringing money in, and everyone else is taking money out. Ultimately, the Buyer (as the single source of funding) is the One Who Pays.

The only trick is that, by allocating the fees to the Seller, the buyer has an opportunity to finance the fees as a part of the transaction (and thus also pay interest to the bank), so the Buyer gets to pay twice :)
