There have been a number of times over the years that I've done an inspection that was fairly clean, then a couple with "buyers remorse" ends up using the inspection to get out of the deal. Everyone ends up mad at me when I'm just the scape goat :-) Bruce Lunsford http://www.ableinspector.com Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral Home Inspector.

Some just fill time slots and use the site to strictly pick up buyers and know nothing about the builder's position. Others are plat manager who definitely represent the seller even if they're not the listing agent because they likely have access to what has been sold and for how much, etc. Having been both types of agents, I've definitely gone toe to toe with the builder and advocated for my buyer. And Craig, I couldn't agree with you more. Agents have no business giving advice on return of earnest money and I for one am happy to get as far away as possible from that potential liability.

I have to say I get real bent out of shape when I see an onsite agent who represents the seller claim to be a "buyer's agent" on a name tag and business cards. When we visit new construction you should see the client's head spin with confusion when Rebecca explains to our client that the onsite "buyer's agent" isn't representing the interest of the buyer. I think the practice is poor marketing, unethical, and lawsuit waiting to happen. Which box does the "buyer's agent" check for agency disclosure on the first page of the P&SA? Cheers, Michael P.

I look forward to your post, Reba. Yes, if anyone has had a negative experience with such agents, I would love to chat with them about their situation. I look forward to your post, Reba.

I'll put it in my "to write" folder and do so soon!
