When you're a buyer, it should be all about your best interest—not the seller's or mine.
The most important thing you can do when buying a home is choose the right real estate agent before you start shopping. As a home buyer you have a choice when it comes to representation.
Traditional agents work in an office that takes listings and usually represent the seller. Although they will not hesitate to act as a dual agent and represent a buyer of the same property, neither party can truly be represented because this sets up a conflict of interest. Agents may work in an office that takes listings, but only one client can be represented in a real estate transaction.
