Praful, we expect that the majority of our inventory will and should close with the assistance of a buyer's agent.... we are listing agents and will not participate in dual agency....we always represent the seller.... my team markets to buyer agents....and they call us when they have a specific product that their buyer wants....

Most agents do both sides of a transaction in my area. They will even do dual agency if given an opportunity.

Thanks for the mention Praful. If buyers want to go it alone, and especially in a sellers' market . . . let them! They will pay more for the property, not have representation and basically, become the sellers' and the listing agents' bitch. LOL
Does anyone want to venture a quess at the #1 claim that hits the E & O insurance carriers for real estate agents?
Give up??
Dual agency!
In one from or the other, E & O insurance carriers for real estate agents get hit with dual agency violations, breach of fiduciary duties, commission claims -- #1.

Buyer agency is rumored to have started here in DC. I think that most transactions include a buyer agent - even though DC and VA allow the listing agent to also represent the buyer

Good morning Praful. I know many agents that only do one or the other and not both and do very well doing it that way. There majority however doing both.
Make it a great week!
