Hi,

I have a friend who is shopping for a house in Calif. and has found one
that she and her husband like a lot. They'd like to make a bid and try
to purchase it. Yet they've also learned that their real estate agent
also represents the person selling the house. What should they do in
this situation?

Real estate agents only get paid when they make a sale. If your
friends somehow believe a buyers agent is working in their interest,
then they should talk to the agent to see what they are willing to do.
I never really believed that since the seller pays and a buyers agent
usually only gets paid from a sale.
