Using
the Listing Agent
When
a seller puts his house on the market through a Homes
company, he has a specific agent from that company representing
him/her. Generally, in a Homes transaction, the buyer will
have their own agent representing them as the buyer, and the
seller will have their own agent representing them as the
seller.
Sometimes,
the seller’s agent can represent both. This, however, can
cause a conflict of interest. That agent’s first duty of
responsibility is to the seller. Their job from the beginning is
to get the seller the best price, and the best terms for his
property. Thus, when the listing agent is writing up and
presenting an offer for the same property they are representing,
there is a conflict of interest in trying to be fair to both
parties.
As
hard as the listing agent may try to be mutual, honest, and fair
between both parties, sometimes it is impossible. And,
unfortunate as it may sound, there are some agents in the
industry that will purposely use information between parties to
manipulate the offer and other details of the transaction.
That
is why as a buyer, it is a very good idea to have one specific
agent representing you through the entire Homes
transaction. From the first steps in getting pre-approved to
closing, stick to one agent that you can trust and enjoy working
with to get you into your next home.
When The
Roberts Team agent is put in that
situation, instead of trying to work both parties, they
would set you up with an one of The Roberts Team "Buyers Agent."
This means that the agent assigned to you, and will exclusively
represent you and not the seller. The best part of using an
agent through The Roberts Team as a buyer is that it’s free!
