Hi Mary,
First of all, as a direct buyer, you need not pay any commission.
From what i gather, i presume you have already offered and agreed on the price with the seller. Now the seller's agent is recommending his partner to represent you to help with the paperwork?
If i were you, i won't pay a single cent and rather DIY everything myself. Since the price has been agreed, why do you need to pay to the partner since he/she never help you with viewing arrangement/price negotiation?
If you really need an agent to help you, i would rather you engage your own agent, rather than use the 'recommended' partner.
Thanks,
