agent didn’t have me sign an agreement prior to showing ?

My agent did not have us sign an agreement prior to showing us houses. We found a house and verbally made an offer. When he wrote up the offer he didn’t tell us that the selling agent had agreed to a 4% commission. He sent us the contract electronically with 1% of closing over the price we verbally agreed on and told us we would get the money back at closing. Not true. Are we stuck paying his fee now ?

Can I sign a buyer agreement to see 2 houses?

I want to get a feel for the agent and the area before I commit to either. Can I sign a buyer agreement that allows me to see 2-4 houses with the agent and that's it? If I like the agent and area, then I'm fine committing for a longer time period. So, are there short term buyer agreements?

I got 5 acres w 2 houses, can I split the lot/houses in FL?

I bought a home on 5 acres, and later built a better house on the lot. Now I am selling but no one wants to buy land with 2 houses - price too high! So I am thinking that dividing the lot in half so each house can be sold seperately. But I do not know how to do that! Advice?

Can the seller of the house make you get approved again?

I put an offer on a house, and the selling agent countered with a lot of demands. One of the demands being to send over financial statements to make sure I have closing cost and so I did. I countered again, and selling agent said I needed to get pre-approved by her choice of lender after she had already spoken to my current lender. We reached out the their said lender and were told it would only be a soft credit check since I have already had my credit ran in February when I locked in with my current lender. I did the application with her choice of lender for a soft check and they asked for bank statements, w2's and paystubs. I do not want my credit ran again and get dinged. Is this allowed? and all before they even accept an offer?
