The agent would then have fiduciary duties to you and not the seller. It is a good idea to decide up-front in which capacity you want your agent to work with you.

Many people believe that whoever is paying the fee is who the loyalty is owed to.
This just simply is not true. Agency has nothing to do with who pays the fee. Locate and show targeted properties, showing both strengths and weaknesses. Advise client regarding offers on property. Consult with client regarding counteroffers, contingencies, and negotiate on client's behalf.
