A realtor representing the seller is required by law to reveal to the seller information concerning the ability or willingness of the buyer to complete the sale or to offer a higher price. Therefore, legally the seller’s agents must not only do all they can to sell the property for the highest price, but they must also inform the seller if you, the buyer, are willing and able to pay a higher price. This prevents agents representing sellers from promising to save you money on the price of the home.

Only agents who represent the buyer can work to get the buyer a lower price.
