What an agent can do for you
An agent may represent either a seller or a buyer only; he cannot represent both especially if he’s dealing with only one property. There are two types of agent; a listing and a selling agent. If you are looking for a house to buy; you should look for a “selling agent”, if you are selling your house then what you need is a “listing agent. Both specializes on their own field and you must remember not to confuse yourself. But sometimes the agent can do both jobs only if the buyer or seller agrees with the set-up and will sign a written consent. Moreover, in dealing with these agents you should be extra careful and you may want to do a background check regarding what company he’s connected, experience and track record in terms of successful transactions.
