Using the Listing Agent When a seller puts his house on the market through a real estate company, he has a specific agent from that company representing him/her. Generally, in a real estate transaction, the buyer will have their own agent representing them as the buyer, and the seller will have their own agent representing them as the seller. Sometimes, the seller’s agent can represent both. This, however, can cause a conflict of interest. That agent’s first duty of responsibility is to the seller. Their job from the beginning is to get the seller the best price, and the best terms for his property. Thus, when the listing agent is writing up and presenting an offer for the same property they are representing, there is a conflict of interest in trying to be fair to both parties. As hard as the listing agent may try to be mutual, honest, and fair between both parties, sometimes it is impossible. And, unfortunate as it may sound, there are some agents in the industry that will purposely use information between parties to manipulate the offer and other details of the transaction. That is why as a buyer, it is a very good idea to have one specific agent representing you through the entire real estate transaction. From the first steps in getting pre-approved to closing, stick to one agent that you can trust and enjoy working with to get you into your next home. At The Roberts Team when one of our listing agents is put in that situation, instead of trying to work both parties, they would set you up with an The Roberts Team "Buyers Agent." This means that the agent assigned to you will exclusively represent you and not the seller. The best part of using an agent through The Roberts Team as a buyer is that it’s free, and we pay for you home inspection or home warranty when we represent you through your escrow.
