The process of buying or selling a home is often one of the most important and often stressful events in life. That is why it is critical that buyers and sellers understand the specific roles of the sales associates that represent them in the real estate process.

Many buyers choose to be represented by a buyer's agent - that is a sales associate that exclusively represents the buyer and their interests in the real estate transaction. Agency laws vary from state to state, but typically before you begin working with a real estate professional, they should present you with a disclosure statement that explains the difference between buyer's agent and seller's agent, and what dual agency means.

If you are interested, I would be happy to provide you with additional information on this topic.
