Why is this of interest to you if you are buying in Rhinebeck, Red Hook, Millbrook NY. Dirt Road Realty LLC is the first & only real estate agency located in Dutchess County which is designed exclusively for the buyer of real estate.
The right real estate agent - or the wrong one - can have a great deal of impact on not only the outcome, but the entire process.
In the real estate business, the Law of Agency has a serious, practical impact. It is important to know who is representing who.
Traditionally, real estate firms represent and work for the best interest of the seller. When you call an agency about an advertised property, you
will be speaking with a seller's agent. A seller's agent can drive you around, show you property, and moves the sales process along by providing you with helpful information and services. However, a seller's agent cannot legally give you advice, and cannot tell you that they think a property is over-priced without jeopardizing their license. What is more: A seller's agent is legally required to disclose to the seller anything he or she learns about you which will weaken your bargaining position.
Only an exclusive buyer's agent with whom you have a written brokerage agreement can advise you, and help you plan a negotiating strategy. Only your agent owes you loyalty, accountability, and confidentiality.
