Other Local Companies

Most other real estate companies in our market do not provide full fiduciary services. The companies don't act as buyer's agents but instead designate one salesperson to act as a Designated Buyer's Agent. Other salespeople in the brokerage can be representing the property seller or even competing buyers. Often the brokerage becomes a dual agent.

Often the salespeople are actually ignorant of their legal obligations and the limitations of the service they provide. Most even call themselves buyer's agents even though their broker requires them to only offer designated buyer agency.
