Mandatory Agency Disclosure - “Agency Relationships”

When was the last time the auto salesperson was working for you? They are employed by the dealership, not you, and work for the financial interest of their employer. Whether you are buying or selling, you can choose to have the advice, assistance and representation of your own agent. Do not assume that a Realtor® is acting on your behalf.  

The Massachusetts Board of Registration of Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons requires that a mandatory agency disclosure be presented at the first personal meeting you have with an agent to discuss any property.

This is not a contract; it is a disclosure to clarify the agency relationships. It enables you the consumer to make an informed decision, if you wish to make one, before working with a real estate licensee. 

Never assume that a Realtor®, or any real estate salesperson, is representing your best interests---unless they are contractually obligated to do so.

By entering a contractual agreement, whether with a sellers or buyers agent, your agent will have a fiduciary responsibility to you, working in your best interest.
