dickb/wi I find it hard to disagree with much of what has already been said. I some times see abuyers agent take an adversarial position for their client, when they [at least in wisconsin] should take and advisory position. Most adversarial positions lead to a "I Win You Lose" result, That is what Lawyers do. In Wisconsin we have to be "Fair and Honest" to all parties in a transaction and we have to "keep confidential any thing that our customer or client wants kept confidential or anything we reasonably think they may want kept confidential". Even as a sellers agent working with a customer who tells us they will come up in their offering if the seller will not accept what is offered, we must keep that fact confidential. But i agree each party to a transaction will be better served if they have representation from an agent and even an attorney. There are things that a Buyers Agent can do for a Buyer that they can't do if they are a Dual Agent or a Sellers Agent, bi would ask that they stay away from the Adversarial Position and leave that up to the attorneys.
