Greetings and Happy Holidays!
Something occurred to me today enough for me to post a blog around this topic. This is something that seems to come up every time when speaking to people and especially around customers that are thinking about purchasing or selling real estate for the first time. While speaking to the customer today, it dawned on me that no one really knows or understands the different representations a real estate agency can offer. Unless you have worked with an agency before, it would be good for you to know the types of representations you are agreeing with especially if you are about to enter into an agency’s service contract.
In real estate, this information in the form of a document, is presented to a customer known as a “Consumer Relationship Disclosure” in Massachusetts. Other states will have a similar title. It’s not considered a contract this just states what’s the relationship between the client and agent.
The types of agency representation a real estate brokerage usually offers for agents to represent you as a…
Seller’s Agent
Buyer’s Agent
Facilitator
Designated Seller’s and Buyer’s Agent
Dual Agent
You can view and learn about the types of agency representation by viewing directly the “Consumer Relationship Disclosure” for Massachusetts. Also keep in mind agency relationships may vary from state to state. So what can you do to understand more about the agency representations? Contact HFM Realty Today!
