Seller agency definition

Seller agency means a form of agency in which a real estate brokerage firm represents the seller in an agency capacity as defined in this chapter.
Seller agency. When a property is listed for sale, the listing REALTOR/Broker acts as an agent for and on behalf of the Seller. Thus, the Seller is their client. Other REALTORS/Brokers who work through the Multiple Listing Service, are considered cooperating agents of the listing agent and, as a result, are considered subagents for the Seller. As subagents for the Seller, they have also agreed to work for and on behalf of the Seller, their client. When a REALTOR/Broker acts as an exclusive agent of one, that licensee owes that party exclusive obligations to: • promote the best interests of that party exclusively • fully disclose to that party all facts that may influence that party’s decision to either tender an offer to purchase or accept an offer to purchase. • keep confidential that party’s motivations for buying or selling • disclose to that party all information about another party’s willingness to offer a higher price or accept a lower price BUYER AGENCY: The Seller has been informed and understands that, on occasion, some REALTOR/Brokers may represent Buyers under a Buyer Agency Agreement. The REALTOR/Brokers acting as the Buyer’s agent have a duty to serve the Buyer’s interest. Thus, any information that the Seller provides the Buyer’s agent will be disclosed to the Buyer. BROKER RECOMMENDATION: REALTOR/Brokers from other offices may, on one occasion, be acting as an agent of the Seller and, on another occasion, as a Buyer’s Agent. Therefore, we recommend that the Seller treat all REALTOR/Brokers from other offices as a Buyer’s agent, i.e. the Seller should not disclose confidences to those REALTOR/Brokers that the Seller would not disclose to a Buyer.
Seller agency. In this type of relationship, the agent and the brokerage owe the seller the duties of loyalty, obedience, confidentiality, accounting, and reasonable skill and care in performing their duties, and any other duties contained in an agency agreement. The agent and brokerage are required to act solely on behalf of the seller's interest to seek the best price and terms for the seller. Finally, a seller's agent and brokerage also have a duty to disclose to the seller all material Information obtained from the buyer or from any other source.
