Buyer Customer or Client? |
|
Pick A or B or C below to understand the
difference between a real estate licensee who is working with you as a
customer, or who is representing you as a client in the home
buying process, and which relationship is right for you.
|
- A real estate associate who is
duty-bound by law to try and sell you his/her owner-clients homes?
- A real estate associate who, while
not duty-bound to a seller, would not be responsible for looking out for
your best interests?
- A real estate agent who is duty-bound
to help you find the home of your choice?
|
- A real estate agent who is duty-bound
to try and sell you the homes his/her company has listed, at the asking
price?
- A real estate associate who can not
protect you from paying too much for a home?
- A real estate agent who will be
duty-bound to help you buy the home you choose at the lowest possible
price?
|
- A real estate associate who is
duty-bound to try and get you to pay all the sales and loan closing
costs?
- A real estate associate who can
explain the reason for the various closing expenses, but cannot advise
you on what you should or should not agree to?
- A real estate agent who is duty-bound
to you and will attempt to get the seller to pay these costs?
|
- A real estate agent with whom you
cannot openly discuss your needs and qualifications because he/she is
duty bound to tell his/her seller client anything you tell him/her
concerning your needs and qualifications for buying a home?
- A real estate associate who, while
not duty-bound to disclose information he/she receives from you, can
give it to anyone because he/she does not have a confidential
relationship with you?
- A real estate agent you can trust to
be on your side, who would be duty-bound to keep your discussions
confidential?
|
- A real estate associate who if "push
comes to shove" during your attempts to buy a home, would be duty-bound
to take the seller's side?
- A real estate associate who cannot
take sides with either the seller or you?
- A real estate agent you know is
always on your side, and is duty-bound to look out for your best
interests when "push comes to shove"?
|
- A real estate associate who locates a
home that has the features you told him/her you wanted, listed at a
fantastically low price, but who is duty-bound to call his/her
buyer-client first, give them the first opportunity to buy, and will
call you only after his/her clients turn it down?
- A real estate associate who can take
the day off because he/she has no duty either to a seller or to
you?
- A real estate associate who is
duty-bound to call you first, and give you the first choice?
|
- A real estate associate is any
licensee who you have not given a written agreement to represent you as
your agent. He/she can only work with you as a customer.
|
- A real estate agent is the
licensee you have given written permission to represent you as a
client, and who has a fiduciary duty to protect and look out for
his/her client's best interest.
|
If you selected C each time, you
want an agent to represent you.
