UNDERSTANDING AGENCY - WHO IS WORKING FOR YOU?

Seller Agency - As a seller's agent, the licensee represents the seller and all information supplied by the buyer will be disclosed to the seller.

Buyer Agency - In this case, the licensee represents the buyer and all information supplied by the seller will be disclosed to the buyer.

Dual Agency - A dual agent represents both parties. This occurs when the same agent represents both buyer and seller. Without express permission of the parties involved, a dual agent may not disclose that the seller will accept a price less than the listing price or that the buyer will pay a price greater than what they have offered.
