Sorry, but you are wrong -- dead wrong!

Some agents DO represent the buyer and that's why they are called a "Buyer's Agent."

Then there are "Transaction Brokers" who show no fiduciary to either the buyer or the seller, but must, by law, handle the transaction fairly for both parties.

An agent can also represent the seller. You really need to know what the differences are before you give out erroneous information.
