COLDWELL BANKER

My agent (buyer's side) did not disclose that he was married to seller's agent. I was aware that the representation was considered and quot;dual agencyand quot; since they were both from CB, but still believed I would have had better leverage during negotiations had the two agents actually been conducting business at arm's length. I only discovered their relationship after closing, at which time I contacted the agents to express my concerns. Instead of responding directly to me, they brought the matter to their VP, who advised me that they had done nothing wrong. As an attorney, I know that fiduciary agents have a duty to disclose certain potential conflicts of interest. I do believe a marital relationship between two agents in an arm's length transaction is such a conflict.

The agent at this office is terrific. She's so friendly, you really get the feeling like she could be your neighbor. Her knowledge, ability, and her skill at her job is top notch. I've even referred her to some friends of mine!
