Best Answer

He/she is working as an Exclusive Buyer Agent, which forbids him/her to have any listings and cannot therefore act as an agent for a seller. Otherwise, he/she can be uncomfortable with the legal responsibility to act as an objective and neutral go-between for both the seller and buyer. This puts some limit on his/her relationship with one of the two parties. He/she is expressly forbidden from taking sides and favouring one of them against the other.

What is a disclosed dual agency in real estate?

In the US, although regulated by individual states,dual agency must be disclosed to all parties in the transaction. Undisclosed dual agency may result in a loss or suspension of a real estate license. For example, Agent A and agent B both work for Remax DC. If Agent A has a buyer who writes an offer on Agent B's listing there is dual agency (assuming that Ahas a buyer's agency agreementand B has a listing agreement) because both buyer and seller have an agency relationship with Remax DC as the principal. This is perfectly legal as long as all parties are aware and give their consent.

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.

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

The broker works for the principal who has signed an agency agreement with the broker's company. If the brokerage agency, ex. Coldwell Banker John Smith, has a listing agreement with the Jones family to sell their home through their salesman, John Doe the brokerage and the agent John Doe represent the Jones family as their principal. The gray area would be if John Doe gets a phone call from a buyer who wants to be represented by an agent to look at homes and he decides to buy the Jones' listing. Now the brokerage and John Doe represent 2 opposing interests in a transaction, which is called dual agency. Most agencies and real estate agents disclose this issue up front and offer a designated agency option, but it is confusing for many people not in the business or who are not attorneys.
