Real Estate Buyer's Agent

• Agent's duty is to get the best possible price and terms for the buyers.
  
  
• Agent must disclose all material facts about property (bad roof, plumbing problems, etc.)
  
  
• Agent should disclose personal facts that indicate sellers will accept a reduced price (such as impending divorce, foreclosure, etc.)

Real Estate Seller's Agent

• Agent's duty is to get the price and sales terms sought by the seller
  
  
• Agent must disclose the same material facts.
  
  
• Agent cannot disclose personal information about sellers without permission.

Buyer agency isn't a cure-all, and it isn't the best choice for every situation. But if you find a real estate agent who you feel comfortable with, employing the agent to work for you can save you time and money.
