 Our system bridges the gap            

             between  for-sale-by-owners 

In Virginia, a real estate company and it's agents may represent the Seller, the Buyer, or both the Seller and Buyer.
The type of representation relationship must be disclosed to all customers.

Customer or Client ?

A real estate agent represents his Client's best interests as outlined in a written agreement.
Without this agreement, the party is a customer.
 Agents must be truthful with all parties and must disclose to customers known adverse material facts about
the condition of the property.

Seller Agent

With a signed agreement stating the real estate agent is representing the Seller, the agent's duty and goal is to seek a
transaction on terms most favorable to his Seller client.
 The seller agent is to guard the Seller's best interests throughout the listing period.

Seller  Sub-Agent 

An agent of an agent. When an agent shows property listed with another company, that subagent is also working with
 the Seller's best interests in mind (just as the listing agent). Even if  the agent who listed your home
  is showing you other properties,by law,the agent represents the other Seller's best interests -not yours
- if you are the customer. You should assume all agents are working for the property.
Seller unless they have a written agreement with the Buyer as a Buyer Agent.
The brokerage relationship should be disclosed to all parties up front -before any customer might
release confidential information and jeopardize their position.

Buyer Agent

The real estate agent is representing the Buyer's best interests and this relationship must be disclosed
whenever dealing with the seller or seller's representative.

Overlapping Brokerage Relationships

Dual and Designated representation -  If all involved parties agree, Virginia law allows representation
of both the Seller and the Buyer through the same company in a single transaction.
Two agents of the same firm may represent opposing sides- if all parties agree.

Note: Choice Real Estate Services,Inc. does not practice dual or designated agency, as we feel there is potential for
a conflict of interest.
We represent only the Seller on  Choice  "Exclusive Authorization To Sell"  listings and
may represent the Buyer on area homes-for-sale other than Choice listings.
