Maybe this question was already answered---but, I didn't see it in skimming the other posts. In Ohio--there is a listing agent...and then the buyer gets their OWN agent...and the commission is split between the two agents.

I was told by TV real estate person---that it doesn't work that way here. That all of the TV real estate people work for the SELLERS or DEVELOPER.

So, my question is this: How do I get someone to represent MY interests? I was told, as many have already stated that the outside realtors can not show those listings of TV Real Estate office--and that is about 95% of the listings. So, do you use a TV person to look at everything and THEN go to an outside agent to close the deal? Or do you have to hire an attorney? Or do you just do your own bargaining? This is all strange to me...as in Ohio...I had my own person looking out for my interests as the buyer....she would point out to me what was good and what was bad about the properties that I was considering....
WHO tells you that when you buy here?
Thanks,
