As unfair as it seems, in most typical real estate
purchases, the only one NOT represented is the buyer.
You are advised not to
disclose any information you want to be held in confidence, until you make a decision on
representation.
Sellers Agent - List homes and protect the seller. It is
their legal obligation to convince you to buy that property at the highest price and at
the best terms for the seller. Remember, if
you call a phone number from a yard sign or advertisement you'll be speaking to the
listing agent who is strictly representing the Seller. See the full text of - Single Agent Notice Below
Buyers Agent - Skills are used only in the best interest of the
buyer. A buyer's agent is in a stronger position in negotiations, which typically results
in a lower purchase price. We do not charge our buyers a fee. We're
compensated by sharing the commission that the seller has agreed to pay their listing
agent and such compensation does not compromise our duties owed to the Buyer. See the full
text of - Single Agent Notice Below
