You may wonder if your Real Estate Agent here in Vail can actually represent both the buyer and seller. So, can they?
Yes. Many states actually require a real estate agent to have an agency disclosure with both buyers and sellers. This disclosure form defines the agency relationship, like a Buyer Agency Agreement or the Seller Listing Agreement. Then the agent will not be an agent or advocate for either party while facilitating the purchase transactions. They will have to still be confidential and fair with both said clients which is very important. Trust and confidentiality are a key criteria when choosing a real estate agent. Always make sure you share your motivation for buying or selling and have those Buyer Agency Agreements or Listing Agreements in place. They bind your confidentiality obligations and the responsibilities of the real estate agent. An experienced real estate agent will be a good asset in this situation because they will already know how to handle these types of situations and provide success for both parties.
Most successful real estate agents should have many listings in their target market area and could be put in this situation. But if you think about it, this can be good for you! If you are the seller for the agent, they just might have a buyer they’re representing interested in your home. Or vise versa. You may be a buyer looking for your dream home and your real estate agent may have a seller that has a home you’d be interested in.
When choosing your real estate agent, choose the one that’s successful. Some agents may have years of experience, but it doesn’t mean they are successful. Make sure to do some research before making that final decision for who you want as your real estate agent.
