If your goal is to fill a housing development, don’t call yourself a buyer’s agent
Summary from United States, from articles in English
The agent owes the buyer undivided loyalty, reasonable care, disclosure, obedience to lawful instruction, confidentiality and accountability, provided, however, that the agent must disclose known material defects in the real estate. (article 3) The agent must put the buyer's interests first and negotiate for the best price and terms for their client, the buyer. (article 3) The dream scenario for someone selling his or her home is a long line of prospective buyers shouting at the top of their lungs in a protracted bidding war for the home. (article 2) Real estate agents generally have a variety of standard forms, including residential purchase agreements that are kept up to date and made available to those who use the services of an agent. (article 1) Finally, in many states there are disclosure laws a seller must comply with, and real estate agents can make sure that happens as well. (article 1) Here are some possible complications to closing: A contract almost always depends on the ability of the buyer to obtain a loan, which is another reason most sellers prefer a buyer who already has obtained a preapproval letter from a lender. (article 5) A real estate agent should have a good working knowledge of the marketplace as well as the asking price of comparable homes. (article 4)
