BUYER CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

If you see an ad or a sign (either a real estate company or a for sale by owner) call me.

I prefer to be with you when you look at houses, but if you happen to stop at an open house, be certain to identify me to the other agent.

If I am not with you, remember that an on-site agent generally represents the seller, so be careful not to discuss personal, confidential information that could harm your negotiating position with an on-site agent.
