Information About
Brokerage Services

Before working with a real
estate broker, you should know that the duties of a broker depend on whom
the broker represents. If you are a prospective buyer, you should know
that the broker who lists the property for sale or lease is the owner's
agent. A broker who acts as a subagent represents the owner in cooperation
with the listing broker. A broker who acts as a buyer's agent represents
the buyer. A broker can assist you in locating a property, preparing a
contract or lease, or obtaining financing without representing you. A broker
is obligated by law to treat you with honesty and fairness.
IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS
THE BUYER:
The broker becomes the buyer's
agent by entering into an agreement to represent the buyer, usually through
a written buyer representation agreement. A buyer's agent can assist the
owner but does not represent the owner and must place the interests of
the buyer first. The owner should not tell a buyer's agent anything the
owner would not want the buyer to know because a buyer's agent must disclose
to the buyer any material information known to the agent.
IF YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE
A BROKER REPRESENT YOU:
you should enter into a written
agreement with the broker that clearly establishes the broker's obligations
and your obligations. The agreement should state how and by whom the broker
will be paid. You have the right to choose the type of representation,
if any, you wish to receive. Your payment of a fee to a broker does not
necessarily establish that the broker represents you. If you have any questions
regarding the duties and responsibilities of the broker, you should resolve
those questions before proceeding.
