customer or client?


 
Expect The Very Best!
Pick A or B or C below to understand the difference between a real estate licensee who is working with you as a customer, or who is representing you as a client in the home buying process, and which relationship is right for you.
  1. A real estate associate who is duty-bound by law to try and sell you his/her owner-clients homes?
  2. A real estate associate who, while not duty-bound to a seller, would not be responsible for looking out for your best interests?
  3. A real estate agent who is duty-bound to help you find the home of your choice?
  1. A real estate agent who is duty-bound to try and sell you the homes his/her company has listed, at the asking price?
  2. A real estate associate who can not protect you from paying too much for a home?
  3. A real estate agent who will be duty-bound to help you buy the home you choose at the lowest possible price?
  1.  A real estate associate who is duty-bound to try and get you to pay all the sales and loan closing costs?
  2. A real estate associate who can explain the reason for the various closing expenses, but cannot advise you on what you should or should not agree to?
  3. A real estate agent who is duty-bound to you and will attempt to get the seller to pay these costs?

 

  1. A real estate agent with whom you cannot openly discuss your needs and qualifications because he/she is duty bound to tell his/her seller client anything you tell him/her concerning your needs and qualifications for buying a home?
  2. A real estate associate who, while not duty-bound to disclose information he/she receives from you, can give it to anyone because he/she does not have a confidential relationship with you?
  3. A real estate agent you can trust to be on your side, who would be duty-bound to keep your discussions confidential?

 

  1. A real estate associate who if "push comes to shove" during your attempts to buy a home, would be duty-bound to take the seller's side?
  2. A real estate associate who cannot take sides with either the seller or you?
  3. A real estate agent you know is always on your side, and is duty-bound to look out for your best interests when "push comes to shove"?

 

  1. A real estate associate who locates a home that has the features you told him/her you wanted, listed at a fantastically low price, but who is duty-bound to call his/her buyer-client first, give them the first opportunity to buy, and will call you only after his/her clients turn it down?
  2. A real estate associate who can take the day off  because he/she has no duty either to a seller or to you?
  3. A real estate associate who is duty-bound to call you first, and give you the first choice?
  • A real estate associate is any licensee who you have not given a written agreement to represent you as your agent. He/she can only work with you as a customer.
  • A real estate agent is the licensee you have given written permission to represent you as a client, and who has a fiduciary duty to protect and look out for his/her client's best interest.
If you selected C each time, you want an agent to represent you. Ask me about a Buyer Representation Agreement.
