Hi Helen. Most real estate companies will ask for a Dual Agent Disclosure to be signed. Please realize it is not with the specific agent, but the broker of record and any agents that work for them. Most of the time it is another agtent in the same firm who will bring a buyer to your property and therefore, you have your agent, the buyer has theirs, but the broker represents both. If your specific agent brings a buyer, they should bring in another agent, usually a manager, to help with negotiations and home inspection issues, to help alleviate any concerns of who has your best interest in mind. When in doubt ask your agent to clarify how they will work if this situation comes in to play. - Thu May 1 2008, 17:49
