Who pays the real estate agent?

Hello DG family, 1.When doing assignments, how does my real estate agent get paid for?
2.Acting on my behalf and locking up the contract with the seller?And what is the step by step process when doing assignment deals with an agent?
3. What type of questions to ask when talking with a seller about the property? In other words what questions I need to ask about the property? To know if it's a good deal that I can turn over to an investor..thanks to all who respond to this
