If you're concerned about the potential dual agency, consulting a real estate attorney is a good idea. They can supply you with legal advice and help you understand potential conflicts of interest. Remember that regulations regarding dual agency can vary by state. Some states require disclosure of dual agency, while others might not. It's essential to understand the rules in your specific state. Also, you can follow these steps:
In some cases, the fact that a realtor acted as a dual agent may be disclosed in the listing agreement or purchase contract. Review these documents to see if there's any mention of dual agency.
Aug 14, 2023 04:58:17You can ask the realtor directly about their role in the transaction. Realtors are required to disclose their agency relationships to clients. If they were a dual agent, they should be honest about it.
You can also search public property records to see if there's any indication of the agent's involvement in the transaction.
Suppose you're unable to determine the agent's role. In that case, you can contact the real estate brokerage that the agent is affiliated with. They may have records that indicate whether the agent acted as a dual agent in the transaction.
