Default Buyers agent

[QUOTE=heartofthecountry;2304397]I know that while working with my regular multiple listing realtor, they will negotiate for me if I am interested in a house. But how does this work with a Villages sales agent? That is, do they only represent the sellers? How does a potential buyer negotiate if they all work for the sellers? Thank you[/QUOTE
Has been my experience, the sellers agent wants you to sign their contract ,have a photographer take pictures of your house and list your house on the
MLS . The sellers agent then can sit back and have you the seller do the all work getting the house ready for a showing and wait for a realtor to bring buyers to look at your house . If their client buys your house the buyers realtor and the listing agent split the commission from the sales proceeds .
Beware of lazy listing agents , sell it by owner . There is a housing shortage so demand is great and supply is not .
My realtor never brought in a potential buyer for me .
Buyers should not pay commission only sellers.
