Do you know who represents who in a Real Estate transaction? Did you know there are three kinds of agency relationships:
Seller’s agent
A “seller’s agent” represents the interests of the seller and has a fiduciary responsibility of reasonable care, loyalty, confidentiality and disclosure to the seller. A seller’s real estate professional (agent) works to assist the seller in locating a buyer and in negotiating a transaction suitable to the seller’s specific needs.
Buyer’s agent
A “buyer’s agent” represents the buyer during the home buying process. The buyer’s real estate professional (agent) has a fiduciary responsibility to represent the buyer’s best interests including reasonable care, loyalty and confidentiality.
Disclosed dual agent
A “disclosed dual agent” represents the interests of both the seller and the buyer, during the same transaction. A dual agent has responsibilities to both seller and buyer and must act in the best interests of both parties.
If you or someone you know is considering a home purchase, Me working for you is a FREE SERVICE protecting your best interest. If you call the Realtor directly off the sign, you are calling the Realtor who represents the seller.
