understand that no Agent-client relationship was created between us by accessing this
site. We do not make any warranties or representations concerning any of these properties,

The extent of our services depends on the type of representation we have with the
parties to the transaction. Buyers and Sellers are treated by the Agent as either Clients
or Customers.
Client/Agent relationship exists when we represent the party as their Agent in the
real estate transaction. This is the most effective representation where the Agent owes
the Client all the fiduciary duties. In the case of a Seller, the listing agreement, is
the legal contract explaining the duties and responsibilities of the listing broker. A
Buyer is treated by the Agent as a client when it is understood from the first contact,
that the broker is representing the Buyer as his/her Agent.
In a Customer/Agent relationship, Buyer or Seller is treated by the Agent as Customers
when they are represented by another Agent. They are treated with honesty and courtesy,
their is no fiduciary duties in this relationship.

in a real estate transaction.
