Explanation of Dual Agency Service Commitment

AGENT REPRESENTING BOTH SELLER AND BUYER - same transaction

AGENT REPRESENTING TWO BUYERS - same transaction

SINGLE AGENCY very simply is a real estate licensee having only one client in a real estate transaction (either seller or buyer).

DUAL AGENCY very simply is a real estate licensee having two (or possibly more) clients in adversary positions and in the same real estate transaction.

A real estate licensee should enter DUAL AGENCY in a real estate transaction only with the full knowledge and informed consent in writing of all clients. If we decide together to enter this type of relationship, we will sign a separate DUAL AGENCY AGREEMENT. This service commitment is NOT that agreement.

This DUAL AGENCY may be generated by the licensee having the seller, as a client, and the buyer, as a client, in the same transaction. Or, a real estate licensee may have two buyer clients who are looking for similar types of property and may eventually even be making offers on the same property at the same time. My fiduciary duties in DUAL AGENCY will be limited duties. My loyalty will not be to one client over another. I will attempt to mediate your transaction in the following manner:

I will carry out the legal instructions of either of my clients, as long as these instructions do not jeopardize the other client's position or confidentiality.
  • I will provide reasonable care and skill to both clients.
  • I will preserve the confidential information of both clients and will not disclose this information to anyone.
  • I will disclose all real property physical conditions of which I am aware.
  • I will show buyers all properties available that meet their expressed needs.
  • I will assist buyers with financing but will not disclose the particulars of the buyers' financial position to anyone.In exchange for my commitment to you, I ask that you work exclusively through me in your real estate transaction. Our joint efforts should result in positive, productive results in a minimum of time.

    I am, however, not obligated to discover latent defects in the property, or to advise you on matters outside of the scope of my real estate license. Legal advice and professional inspection are critical.

    I look forward to working with you!
