When a seller hires a real estate agent to market their home, the seller signs a listing agreement. From then on that agent will do whatever is required to procure a buyer (you) for that property.

When you call in on an ad for a property, you understand the real estate agent is working for the seller. But what many people don’t know is if they go and see other properties with that same agent, the agent is working for the seller of each one of the other properties even if they don‘t have a listing agreement signed with each owner!!! This is called sub-agency. This is the system as it has always been.

The agent is really working for the seller, even though we are friends? The agent is really working for the seller even though they don’t have a listing agreement signed???? ABSOLUTELY!!! This is why Buyer Agency was created. So that Buyers could have the same representation that the sellers have.
