The rules regarding real estate transactions are carefully worded to protect the industry. An agent must bring all offers. But her advice about whether to take an offer? Completely unregulated. In general, agents see all transactions, and as marketeers, necessarily develop a better feel for pricing. They learn to avoid “having” to do a transaction, which is not true of the average buyer and seller. Finally, with fixed percentage commissions, the strike price delta is first order for you, but only second order to their commission. This is the underlying reason that legally, both buyer’s and seller’s agent WORK FOR SELLER.
