Dual agency (when an agency represents both home buyers and sellers) creates relationships with clients and customers that aren't clear cut. In a dual agency relationship, a Realtor’s fiduciary duties to their client's interest are much more limited. They can no longer be an advocate for either party because each client has opposite goals. Even with proper disclosure, many dual agents find themselves in complex situations in which it's difficult to know best how to serve both the buyer and the seller. For salespeople who practice dual agency, one of the biggest challenges is keeping price and motivation confidential on both sides of the transaction so that neither buyers nor sellers lose their bargaining position. |
A listing real estate broker doesn't work for you, but for the seller. If you want someone on your side, bet on a buyer's agent. The balance of power is changing as the number of brokers who serve only buyers grows. A conflict of interest is more likely when a real estate firm that represents sellers assigns you one of its brokers as a buyers agent. That's why many people believe an exclusive buyer broker is preferable. |
