Understanding Agency
What is agency?
Under agency law, the REALTOR® legally owes you the duties and obligations associated with agency: utmost care, integrity, confidentiality, and loyalty.
A stringent Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice guides all REALTOR®s. It's your assurance of fair and honest representation.
A REALTOR® must disclose, in writing, whose interests he or she represents in any real estate transaction. A REALTOR® may represent you both as a buyer, and as a seller. In some cases, the REALTOR® may represent both the buyer and the seller involved in the same transaction.
