[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=FruminousBandersnatch]Your agent represents you. Your agent should be following your directions and communicating your questions to the seller.

No he doesn't.  The buyer's agent represents you only if OP has a "buyer's agent" working for them and has signed the necessary forms.  Otherwise, no, under law of agency the buyer's agent has an allegiance to the Seller - he works for the seller so that's why he is stalling - because he wants to close the deal. whereupon  the buyer's agent who will get his fee from the Seller's gains and divide it with the purchaser (sometimes not half, or a percentage of 3%.) So if OP has no clear understanding that her agent is or is not a buyers/agent, then,buyer's agent has an allegiance to the Seller because it is the Seller who pays the fees out of his gains and it is done right at the settlement[/quote]

Cool answer but not quite complete.  OP indicated that she her agent and the listing agent are associated with the same company.  Don't you want to talk about designated agency as well?[/quote]
