    1. Generally, agents are under a duty to obey the lawful and reasonable instructions of the principal. Where the principal's instructions are clear, the agent does not normally have any discretion and must follow those instructions, unless an agent is a professional and the principal relies on the agent to exercise his professional skill and discretion in accomplishing the tasks he has been appointed to accomplish. However, if the principal's instructions are ambiguous or if the agent is not certain as to their meanings, the agent should clarify such instructions with the principal before acting. An agent is obligated to obey promptly and efficiently all lawful instructions of his principal. However, this duty plainly does not include an obligation to obey any unlawful instructions; for example, an instruction not to market the property to minorities or to misrepresent the condition of the property. Compliance with instructions the agent knows to be unlawful could constitute a breach of an agent’s duty of loyalty. The relationship between an…

    Terminating a real estate agent. It is a common misconception among sellers that they cannot fire or terminate their listing agent. They can. However, the best way to still market one's property without bad feelings is to approach the agent's broker and have the broker assign a new agent to the listing. Understand that the agent and broker still have a "protection period" that protects them against the seller closing a transaction with a buyer that the agent, through their business efforts, had previously procured. The period is usually for 180 days, but at time of listing a property this period can be negotiated down to 90 or even 60 days. Regardless of the time limits, it is wrong for a seller to take advantage of the agent's efforts and is grounds for legal…

    This is the person who is working for the house seller. Their job is to sell the house. Misunderstanding this role is a typical homebuyer mistake. To receive accurate value for a home, having a buyer agent makes the difference. These agents work for the buyer to help negotiate on behalf of the buyer. Too often this small, yet important detail is misunderstood. To help understand the importance of this role, some people have referenced it to a divorce. “If you were getting a divorce, you wouldn’t go to your spouse’s lawyer for advice, would you?” The same thinking can be applied…
