Historically,
real estate agents used to all represent the Seller. They
worked with Buyers,
but they worked for the
Seller. The problem with this arrangement is that there was no way the agent
could represent Buyers if their fiduciary responsibility was to the
Seller!
One of
the "work-arounds" for this scenario is a strategy called Designated Agency where
one agent in an office works for Sellers and another agent in the same office
works with Buyers. While
it seems logical that this would solve the issue, it only complicates it because all listings belong to the Broker,
and the Broker (in Designated Agency situations) is a Dual Agent so he/she cannot
fully represent either party!
