Well that's a personal choice and it's certainly not expected by most of us. The best thing you could do is write and publish a testimonial for them. Ask them where they would like you to put it as most of us use social media but different ones.

Can a sellers real estate agent tell the buyers agent the exact price the buyer will accept less than the listing price?

They can, but only if their principal (the seller) has given them express permission to do so. If they do this without the seller's permission it is a breach of the agent's duties to his/her principal. If this happened in the US the seller should notify the Real Estate Commission in their state and file a complaint against their agent. This is extremely unethical.


What does a real estate agent do for their clients?

A estate agent is responsible for different tasks. Sellers and buyers of the properties have their own requirements and terms and conditions, and a estate agent has the responsibility to make their clients satisfied with their works. Estate agents have to search the property for their buyers and have to search the best buyer for their seller clients.


Who does a Real estate agent represent?

either the buyer or seller of a property There are several types of representation that a real estate agent may be hired to perform. The agent can be retained in a single agency representation to represent the seller or as a buyer-agent representing the buyer. Single agency results in a fiduciary relationship to either the buyer or seller, but not both. Dual agency is where the real estate agent owes a fiduciary relationship to both parties and is not permitted in many states. A real estate agent can also be retained to provide what is called transaction brokerage whereby they do not represent either the buyer or the seller but instead performs services to facilitate the transaction and would be bound to treat both parties fairly but does not owe a fiduciary relationship to either. When retaining the services of a real estate agent inquire as to the nature of their representation and who they in fact represent. Keep in mind that as their representation of a particular party to the transaction evolves, the representation obligations and fiduciary duties may change. It is obligation of the real estate agent to disclose in establishing a relationship and also if and when it changes during the transaction.


What is a principal real estate agent?

A person with a state/provincial license to represent a buyer or a seller in a real estate transaction in exchange for commission. Most agents work for a real estate broker or realtor.


Who is the principal for whom a real estate broker works?

A real estate broker has only one fiduciary duty and that is to his or her client, also known as the principal. Real estate agents act as the broker's representatives -- always. In every part of a real estate transaction, he or she is the broker's agent. Therefore, despite the fact that the agent may have procured the client, he or she did so as the broker's representative. Therefore, the only principal for whom a broker works is the client -- the home buyer or seller.

Can a real estate agent buy the property they have listed?

Yes, if certain conditions are fulfilled. IT is NOT an optimal situation for either party. In most US states the agent must have a signed disclosure that the seller is aware that the buyer (in this case the listing agent) is a licensed real estate agent and is not representing the seller's interests in the case of an agent purchasing on his own behalf. Most ethical agents regard this as a gray area, because the agents will have so much more information than a non-agent seller. Many agents will not do this type of transaction. If the seller closes and then concludes he did not get a fair price; chances are the seller will complain to the real estate commission. This will result in inquiries and a time consuming process. The best practices solution would be to cancel the listing agreement and have the seller get another agent to represent his interests.


How much money does a real estate agent make for each house they sell?

In most cases, they make a percentage of the sale price (called a commission), and that percentage varies. Usually, both the buyer and the seller have an agent, and both get a commission. If the same agent represents both buyer and seller, he gets a double commission. You should call individual real estate firms to find out how much commission they give their agents.


Who pays real estate broker in Florida?

The seller. Often the real estate commission is paid by the seller as part of the listing agreement. However, real estate commissions are negotiable and depending on the services provided by the agent representing you, there may be other fees in addition or in lieu of a real estate commission. It is strongly recommended that you discuss the issue of fees and commissions at the time you contact a real estate agent to represent you.


Is a real estate agent a party to the transaction?

Usually a real estate agent is not a party to the transaction, unless that agent is either the seller or buyer or has an interest in either side. The fact that he may be representing either the buyer or seller or even both does not make him or her an interested party in the agreement. Most states real estate laws clearly state that should an agent have an interest in either side of the tranaction then both parties must be notified for that interest. Thats why you often see and agent sellling his own home, even as a for sale by owner, the advertising and signs should mention that the home is agent owned. Its all about ethics more than the law.
