Let's don't scare everyone! This may be true of Villages salespersons but not necessarily so if you have an outside MLS agent. Unless the listing agent of a property is showing you a house then they would be representing you as a buyer. a) Most brokerages don't allow dual agency and b) Yes, buyers should sign a Buyer's Brokerage Agreement with their agent and his/her broker.

Lack of ethics? Ouch!
