Get your own agent!!!!!

If you and spouse were getting a divorce, would share a lawyer? So why
should you share an agent?

Also, there is no "buyers commission." The seller offers a commission
to their agent to sell the house which the agent must share with a
buyers agent if one is involved. The seller will not pay less
commission if there is not a buyers agent.

Also, there is a little thing called fiduciary duty. In plain English,
this means that your loyalty is owed to the person that hired you to
represent them. A sellers agent does not owe you loyalty and does not
have a duty to protect your interest, but if you get a buyers agent,
then that person will work for you and your interests. It does not
matter that the buyers agent is paid via the sellers commission.
Fiduciary duty is determined by realtionship and not the monetary
source.
