Frequently the first person you consult about buying a home is a real estate agent or broker. Although real
estate brokers provide helpful advice on many aspects of home buying, they may serve the interests of the
seller, and not your interests as the buyer. The most common practice is for the seller to hire the broker to find
someone who will be willing to buy the home on terms and conditions that are acceptable to the seller. Therefore,
the real estate broker you are dealing with may also represent the seller. However, you can hire your own real
estate broker, known as a buyer's broker, to represent your interests. Also, in some states, agents and brokers
are allowed to represent both buyer and seller.

Even if the real estate broker represents the seller, state real estate licensing laws usually require that the broker
treat you fairly. If you have any questions concerning the behavior of an agent or broker, you should contact
your State's Real Estate Commission or licensing department.

Sometimes, the real estate broker will offer to help you obtain a mortgage loan. He or she may also recommend
that you deal with a particular lender, title company, attorney or settlement/closing agent. You are not required to
follow the real estate broker's recommendation. You should compare the costs and services offered by other
providers with those recommended by the real estate broker.
