I don't know the specific origin of these questions, but Buyers ask them all the time. A wise homebuyer will ask these types of questions to any agent they interview.

Here are my responses to Buyers when I am provided with these questions: 

  • Do you spend 100% of your time representing Buyers? YES

  • Will you guarantee me that you will not be representing any seller at any time while you are working for me? YES

  • Do you, or the company you are with, ever list properties for sale? NO

  • Will you point out all the negative aspects of each property as well as all the positive aspects so I will be fully informed when making my decision? YES, to my best ability.

  • Will you provide information on comparable sales and help me formulate an offering price and negotiating strategy? YES

  • Do you have a list of lenders, home inspectors, insurance agents and other professionals that you will recommend? YES, but you are free to use whoever you like.

  • Will you tell me everything you can find out about the seller and their reasons for selling? YES, In the normal course of business. I'm not a private investigator.

  • Will you show me all the homes on the market that meet my needs, including For Sale By Owner properties, foreclosures, and other properties? YES. I do not have time or ability to actively know about every FSBO home and other homes (i.e. homes not on the market for sale). However, I will help you buy any home you choose to purchase and will not hesitate to help you with the purchase of any of the home types mentioned above)

  • Will you negotiate on my behalf throughout the entire home buying process offering advice and information every step of the way? YES

  • Will you "think" in Buyer's terms (i.e.: Get the lowest possible price and best terms for the Buyer, not the Seller)? YES

  • Will you guarantee that any information I give you will be kept confidential? YES, unless you ask me to do otherwise

  • Will you guarantee me your undivided loyalty? YES

  • Will you guarantee me you will not try to change your relationship with me to "dual agency", "designated agent", "transactional agent", or any other form of agency that offers reduced levels of service? YES

  • Can you guarantee me 100% loyalty 100% of the time? YES

Ben, I like all those answers. I'll bet you are the only one in your area that offers that level of service to clients and doesn't treat them like customers.
