I was reasdured and the resltor would not clarifiy it in writing. Sure enough exactly what I predicted, she did and at first casuing me to lose 5000 below what I would ever agree to. Now she claims she will give up her commission but she has been so j trustworthy , I am afraid she will steal my home or rip me off. I am devastatedshe would do this and am afraid to go to closing for more aggravtion and stress..

Answer: Real estate contracts must be in writing.  If you are concerned that your real estate agent is being dishonest with you, you might want to consult a lawyer and have the lawyer review the listing contract and the sales contract.  The attorney can help you navigate this process and help you deal with a real estate agent who is not being honest with you.
