Who Is Your REALTOR Working For?

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

Paul Zubrys, BrokerI am a not a Salesperson.

I act solely on behalf of my client.  Testimonials.

The Listing Broker acts solely on behalf of the seller.

If your Realtor is showing you one of his/her own listings, their legal fiduciary responsibility is exclusively with the seller. At best, the Realtor can act as a “Dual Agent” in which case he cannot assist either party with negotiating for the best price, terms, etc…

Seller’s agents will disclose to the seller known information about the buyer which may be used to the benefit of the seller.

    The duties that a seller’s agent owes to the seller include:    
  • promoting the best interests of the seller
  • disclosing Buyer’s motivation to buy including the price he is willing to pay
  • disclosing to seller all information known about the identity of all Buyers and the willingness of those buyers to complete the sale or to offer a higher price.

I specialize in finding buyers (including developers, investors, and vacation home buyers) the best property at the best possible price and terms. Regardless of whose listing, even For Sale By Owners, I will negotiate for the best price and terms using all the information at my disposal including confidential information that cannot be provided by the listing broker (seller’s motivation, previously accepted offers, property history, price reductions, etc…).

As a Buyer’s Agent, I earn my commission the same way the Listing Agent does… from the sales commission paid by the seller.

I have more than twenty (20) years of experience and know this market as well as anyone.  (more…)
