Real Estate Agents are confused by working for buyers

We've been working for buyers since about 1988. When we started many real estate agents didn't even know who they were working for. In 1994 a law was passed requiring real estate agents to tell buyers who they were working for. Since then, a lot of real estate bozos have said they were buyers agents only because they think that is what buyers want to hear.

Now, some 13 years later, a lot of real estate agents and brokers are still confused.

There is a very popular associate broker in our area now who works for the largest real estate company in Michigan. What is funny is that she says when she has a buyer she doesn't do dual agency.

Well if she asked her boss I'm sure they would be unhappy about that because the buyers get dual agency from the brokerage every time they look at one of her listings. And the consumer needs to be disclosed for dual agency whenever the designated buyer agent and the designated seller agent have the same company on their business cards.

I'm not going to publish her name yet because she may not have had a chance to ask her boss, but in another couple days...
