I am continually amazed at how many buyers use the phrase "MY AGENT" when referring to the person who is showing them houses and facilitating the purchase of a house. That person is NOT their agent. He or she is the agent for the seller, not the buyer. When you buy a house, the licensed real estate agent and the broker work exclusively for the seller, and any money they receive is paid to them by the seller. Buyers really need to understand that they do not have an agent that represents them in the offer and negotiation phase of the sale of a house.
