4. Your Needs Come First The process of marketing and selling your home must match your objectives, priorities and needs. In order to best serve you, I will want to learn more about your plans, so please feel free to ask questions and share your concerns with me. The following worksheets on the topics outlined below can help me understand your goals and help us build a strong working relationship: ·The agency laws that may apply as we work together in the marketing and sale of your property . · The objectives you want to achieve from the sale of your home and the support you expect to receive from me. · How the home selling process should be tailored to fit the characteristics of your property.

5. Agency Relationships When real estate professionals work with sellers and buyers, “agency” relationships are established. As you start working with a real estate professional, please ask for a clear explanation of the current agency laws in Texas, so that you understand these important issues. There are three kinds of agency relationships: · Buyer’s agent A “buyer’s agent” represents the buyer during the home buying process. The buyer’s real estate professional (agent) has a fiduciary responsibility to represent the buyer’s best interests including reasonable care, loyalty and confidentiality. · Seller’s agent A “seller’s agent” represents the interest of the seller and has a fiduciary responsibility of reasonable care, loyalty, confidentiality and disclosure to the seller. A seller’s real estate professional (agent) works to assist the seller in locating a buyer and in negotiating a transaction suitable to the seller’s specific needs. · Intermediary A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the broker complies with the Texas Real Estate License Act. The broker must obtain the written consent of each party to the transaction to act as an intermediary. The written consent must state who will pay the broker and set forth the broker’s obligations as an intermediary. The broker is required to treat each party honestly and fairly and to comply with the Texas Real Estate License Act. A broker who acts as an intermediary in a transaction: 1. shall treat all parties honestly; 2. may not disclose that the owner will accept a price less than the asking price unless authorized in writing to do so by the owner; 3. may not disclose that the buyer will pay a price greater than the price submitted in a written offer unless authorized in writing to do so by the buyer; and 4. may not disclose any confidential information or any information that a party specifically instructs the broker in writing not to disclose unless authorized in writing to do so or required to do so by the Texas Real Estate License Act or a court order or if the information materially relates to the property condition.
