Oh really.
I’ve been working in real estate a long time. Dad’s been doing it even longer. We’ve been with a couple of different companies over the years and frankly, I can’t remember a time that anyone else in our brokerage was ‘working for our sellers’ other than ourselves. So how is it that a local brokerage is trying to claim that when you list your home with one of their agents, all of the agents are working for you?
Honestly, it’s a game of semantics, which means nothing for the consumer. Semantics because technically, all listings are “owned” by the broker and typically, the broker is the owner of the brokerage. The agents are simply ’sales agents’ of the broker. So, “technically” when you list your home with a sales agent of any brokerage, the broker can “claim” that “all” of his agents are working for you.
Smoke and mirrors really.
The truth and reality?
