i was surprised, too, that atty representation was not policy,,, we bought from a private individual w/o licensed real estate personnel involvement,,, our title co will 'hold' closing,,, its unlikely we'll ever see sellers again,,, sounded a bit odd so i asked hometown atty if this is standard,,, he said he did the same
good point on tv real estate brokers/salesmen - they are NOT Realtors therefore no applicable code of ethics,,, the sop is make the sale',,, our tv broker showed 8-10 properties - standard comment was 'sellers are motivated - they'll accept far less than asking $ ! someone doesn't know the law of agency imo
