I'm doing one right now... a former buyer client of mine who is being relocated agreed to sell his home to a colleague of his and asked me to just handle his paperwork to makes sure all was legit. He's paying me $1,500 to coordinate paperwork with hime and the buyer and the settlement attorney.

Yeah, there are times when it's a small price to pay for a big deal, or for freedom or friendship/business relationship.

yes.... he was not a client ....I had the buyer and the builder was hanging by his fingernails during the FDIC/Resolution Trust days.... I put the deal together and took no commission on a high end new home!!!! big chunk of change left on the table for him to pay the bank less....
he was so thankful to me because no one had ever done that before for him...he had deep pockets ( but I knew the bigger they are, the harder they fall).... when he landed on both feet and started developing multiple subdivisions, I was the listing agent on about 12 or 13 of them until he retired....
that on commission put me on the map in my marketplace.... I love rolling the dice!!

Ever helped a client entirely or partly (that's confusing_ pro bono (FREE)?
For the most part most of what folks do is never FREE. There will be present a acknowledgment or recognition or potential for business. The only truly free service is also anonymous and you can't do that in real estate.
I have help many without accepting a fee.
I have helped many and after calculating the cost come to the realization it was 'less than free!"
The conditions which I will work free is assisting those fragile ones in need of protection, the elderly or bereaved and the hopeless. But let me be clear, even then my reward comes in bringing a smile to the One who matters.

We have done small deals where the commision was $150 in renting out small office space for a client who was also a buyer. One time we showed one of those offices, and the person did not like it...he told us that the former building he was in had fallen out of escrow. Ron knew the building called one of our clients from the car and had the building back in escrow that afternoon...Our client tore it down rebuilt it, we had the listing to lease and then the listing to sell it...It is good to be kind!

Awe Gheez ... Yes, I have helped many clients and friends in many ways. I feel I need intervention and need to start charging for all that I do for others.
The specifics of how I helped remain very private. Not for publication.
We got some relief from the high temps today yet the high 90's will return over the weekend.

I run a business, not welfare.
If my buyer needs some of my income to buy a home, they need to keep renting.

Yes! I have! I had an elderly couple who had to sell - husband was quite ill and they fell on very hard times with medical expenses. They had zero equity in their home (used to pay medical bills) and couldn't afford to pay me.
I also had another couple during the recession who couldn't afford to pay commission and I offered to do it pro bono. I did some major tweaking of commission to help clients during the recession many times.
It has come back to me ten-fold and I don't ever regret helping those in need - ever. And, let me tell you, during the recession, I had two in college and needed every penny I could scrape together!

Depends on the definition of help. Answer questions? Sure. Absolutely.
List a home, set it up with all the subscription services I pay for, filling out all the paperwork, answering 40 emails asking questions about the listing, negotiate back and forth on three offers until one is accepted, fill out more paperwork, and walk the seller through closing? No. And a true friend would never ask me to do all that work for free. My exception would be a close friend or family member in distress (like, about to lose their house, etc.).
