Information About Brokerage Services
Before working with a real estate broker or agent, you should know that the duties of a broker or agent depend on whom the broker or agent represents. If you are a prospective seller or landlord (seller) or a prospective buyer or tenant (buyer), you should know that the broker or agent who lists the property for sale or lease is the seller's agent. A broker or agent who acts as a subagent represents the seller in cooperation with the listing broker. A broker or agent who acts as a buyer's agent represents the buyer. A broker or agent may act as an intermediary between the parties if the parties consent in writing. A broker or agent 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 honestly.
