5 Reasons To Get Your Own

Posted on 06 May 2008 by Vicki Moore


Your own agent, that is. In other words, 5 reasons not to work with the listing agent. If I could think of another way to say it — oh, wait! I know. Don’t even think about. Ever. Forget it.

1. The listing agent works for the seller. As Realtors we have a fiduciary responsibility to our client – our first client. That means the listing agent’s legal duty is to the seller FIRST. The agent’s job is to get the seller the most money. Under that scenario how is he/she going to get you the best deal?

If you’re asking the listing agent to give you the dirty details on why the seller is selling and he/she gives them to you, what do you think the seller knows about you? Maybe how much you’re willing to pay? Maybe how much you’re pre-approved for? Maybe how badly you want the house?
