It is legal to make a refund to the principal (buyer or seller) only.
1) The refund would be distributed from escrow, you need to mention this fact in the purchase agreement or addendum. Escrow will include this refund in their commission distribution instructions and it will be included in the final statement. This is the recommended way.
2) Real Estate eBroker can distribute this refund. We will cut one check for you and one for the buyer. Real Estate eBroker will provide one additional form for the buyer and take care of the 1099 forms. There is an additional $50 charge this way.
3) You can make this refund to the buyer by yourself but you may have to pay income tax on this refund. Ask your tax adviser before choosing this option.
4) Buyer's W-9 form is required. Otherwise refund will be taxable to the agent.
No additional disclosure to any parties is required in any of these options.
