I am representing a retailer who wants to buy a building, and he now wants to consider a lease/purchase. How is the commission typically structured on lease/purchase deals, eg, when/how do I get paid? For example, on one particular building the listing agent has a 5% SALE commission that he will split 50/50....if doesn't have any language in his listing agreement spelling out lease/purchase deals, what's a common way to structure how the fee is paid?

These are two completely separate deals. Do not defer your lease commission because there is no guarantee of the purchase. I did a deal where we credited the paid out lease commission on the remaining years of the lease to the sale commission.
