Agency

Each agents' duties, loyalties and faithfulness are owed to their own customer/client. They must tell their customer/client all important information that might affect the purchase or sale of the property.

Your Agent/Broker can provide you with:

• information about available properties
• sources of financing
• help in analyzing and comparing the physical and economic features of different properties
• an opportunity to preview properties
• assistance in making an offer to purchase (when buying)
• assistance in negotiating a purchase offer (when selling)

Both brokers are obligated by law to treat you honestly and fairly. They must:

• present all written offers to the owner promptly
• disclose material facts about the property known to the broker
• offer the property without regard to race, creed, sex, religion, national origin, handicap, or familial status
  

If you choose to have a real estate broker represent you as your agent, you should enter into a written contract that:

• clearly establishes the obligations of both parties
• sets out how your agent will be paid and by whom
