Dual Agency

Dual agency occurs when a real estate agent is representing both buyer and seller in the same transaction. Since the agent has promised a duty of confidentiality, loyalty and full disclosure to both parties simultaneously, it is necessary to limit these duties in this situation, if both parties consent.

If you find yourself involved in a dual agency relationship, before receiving an offer both you and the other party will be asked to consent in writing to this new limited agency relationship.

This relationship involves the following limitations:

1. The Agent will deal with the Buyer and the Seller impartially.

2. The Agent will have a duty of disclosure to both the Buyer and the Seller except that;

The Agent will not disclose that the Buyer is willing to pay a price or agree to terms other than those contained in the Offer, or that the Seller is willing to accept a price or terms other than those contained in the Listing;

The Agent will not disclose the motivation of the Buyer or the Seller to sell unless authorized by the Buyer or the Seller;

The Agent will not disclose personal information about either the Buyer or the Seller unless authorized in writing;

3. The Agent will disclose to the Buyer the defects about the physical condition of the Property known to the Agent.

No Agency

You may choose to use the services of a REALTOR without having any kind of agency relationship. This might occur, for example, when you are being shown a property by the seller’s agent.

The REALTOR you choose to work with in this manner has a legal and ethical duty to provide you with accurate, honest answers to your questions and can provide all these services:

-  Explain real estate terms and practices

- Provide and explain forms used.

- Assist you is screening and viewing properties.

- Inform you of lenders and their policies.

- Identify and estimate costs involved in a transaction.

- Give you PAST and PRESENT market trends.
