What is an Agent?
In many types of business dealings, including
the business of real estate transactions, an AGENT represents
someone else, called the PRINCIPAL (YOU), in dealing
with other people. The agent becomes a "substitute"
for the principal: he or she acts, speaks and listens
for the principle.
This relationship between a principal
and an agent is called an AGENCY relationship.
The British Columbia Real
Estate Association defines the parameters of an AGENCY

The Agency Relationship
REALTORS® work within a legal relationship
called agency. The agency relationship exists between
you, the principal, and your agent, the company under
which the individual salesperson, who is representing
you, is licensed. The essence of the agency relationship
is that the agent has the authority to represent the
principal in dealings with others.
Agents and their salespeople are legally
obligated to protect and promote the interests of their
principals as they would their own.
Specifically, the agent has the following
duties:
- Undivided loyalty. The agent must protect
the principals negotiating position at all times,
and disclose all unknown facts which may affect of
influence the principals decision.
- To obey all lawful instructions of the principal.
- An obligation to keep the confidences of
the principal.
- The exercise of reasonable care and skill in performing all assigned duties.
- The duty to account for all money and property placed in an agents hand while acting for the principal.
