Before you sign on the dotted line...
All real estate agents are not created equal. All real estate professionals should offer you a choice of whether you want to be a customer or client. Agency laws require a real estate professional to explain to you the difference between a customer and client relationship. Know if the agent is working for you BEFORE you establish a relationship. We represent sellers and buyers and will be pleased to explain that COMPLIMENTARY service. Be sure and ask us about buyer's agency.
