  • Do Buyers have advantage when working with Listing Agent (Dual Agency Explained)
    May 29 2026

    Most buyers don’t realize they’re in a dual agency situation… until they’re already writing an offer.

    You walk into an open house, start talking to the listing agent, and it feels easy to keep working with them. But what most people don’t understand is—at that point, you may not have someone fully representing you anymore.

    In this episode, I break down what dual agency really is, when it happens, and what you give up as a buyer when it does. This is one of the most overlooked parts of the process, and understanding it upfront can make a big difference in how you approach your home search.

    This is part of a series walking through the Buyer Brokerage Agreement step by step so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

  • Buy Agency Agreement Explained- Term and Areas
    May 6 2026

    When you sign a Buyer Brokerage Agreement, you’re not just agreeing to work with an agent—you’re agreeing to a specific timeframe and, in many cases, a defined area.

    Most buyers don’t realize how long they may be committed or how broad that agreement can be if it’s not clearly defined.

    In this episode, I break down the term and area sections so you understand exactly what you’re agreeing to, how it works, and what it means for you before you start looking at homes.

    This is part of a series walking through the Buyer Brokerage Agreement step by step so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

    If you’re thinking about buying and want to make sure you’re set up the right way from the start, reach out. I’m always happy to walk through it with you.
