5. Agency Relationships

By signing this Non-Exclusive Buyer-Broker Agreement, the Buyer designates the Buyer's Agent and the Principal/Branch Broker for the Company (the Broker), as non-exclusive agents for the Buyer to locate properties for the Buyer's consideration and review. The Buyer also authorizes the Buyer's Agent or the Broker to appoint another agent in the Company to represent the Buyer in the event the Buyer's Agent or the Broker will be temporarily unavailable to service the Buyer. As agents for the Buyer, the Buyer's Agent and the Broker have fiduciary duties to the Buyer that include loyalty, full disclosure, confidentiality, and reasonable care. The Buyer understands, however, that the Buyer's Agent and the Broker may now, or in the future, be agents for a Seller who may have a property that the Buyer may wish to acquire. Then the Buyer's Agent and the Broker would be acting as Limited Agents representing both the Buyer and seller at the same time. A Limited Agent has fiduciary duties to both the Buyer and the seller. However, those duties are limited because the agent cannot provide to both parties undivided loyalty, full confidentiality and full disclosure of all information known to the agent. For this reason, the Limited Agent is bound by a further duty of neutrality. Being neutral, the Limited Agent may not disclose to either party information likely to weaken the bargaining position of the other - for example, the highest price the Buyer will offer, or the lowest price the seller will accept. THE BUYER IS ADVISED THAT NEITHER THE BUYER NOR THE SELLER IS REQUIRED TO ACCEPT A LIMITED AGENCY SITUATION IN THE COMPANY, AND EACH PARTY IS ENTITLED TO BE REPRESENTED BY ITS OWN AGENT.

If Limited Agency is agreed to below;

(a) The Buyer authorizes the Buyer’s Agent and the Broker to represent both the Buyer and the Seller as Limited Agents when the Buyer’s Agent and the Broker also represent the Seller of the Property the Buyer desires to acquire;

(b) The Buyer further agrees that when another agent in the Company represents the Seller, that agent will exclusively represent the Seller, the Buyer’s Agent will exclusively represent the Buyer, and the Broker will act as Limited Broker. IN EITHER EVENT, IF LIMITED AGENCY IS AGREED TO BELOW, THE BUYER AND THE SELLER WILL BE REQUIRED TO SIGN A SEPARATE LIMITED AGENCY CONSENT AGREEMENT AT THE TIME THE LIMITED AGENCY SITUATION ARISES.

INITIAL APPLICABLE BOX:

I AGREE TO LIMITED AGENCY I DO NOT AGREE TO LIMITED AGENCY

If initialed above, the Buyer further agrees that when another agent in the Company represents the Seller, that agent will exclusively represent the Seller, the Buyer's Agent will exclusively represent the Buyer, and the Broker will act as Limited Agent. In either event, if initialed above, the Buyer and the Seller will be asked to sign a separate Limited Agency Consent Agreement at the time the limited agency situation arises.

6. Professional Advice

The Company and the Buyer’s Agent are trained in the marketing of real estate. Neither the Company nor the Buyer’s Agent are trained or licensed to provide the Buyer with professional advice regarding the physical condition of any property or regarding legal or tax matters. BUYER IS ADVISED NOT TO RELY ON THE COMPANY, OR ON ANY AGENTS OF THE COMPANY, FOR A DETERMINATION REGARDING THE PHYSICAL OR LEGAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY, including, but not limited to: past or present compliance with zoning and building code requirements; the condition of any appliances; the condition of heating/cooling, plumbing, and electrical fixtures and equipment; sewer problems; moisture or other problems in the roof or foundation; the availability and location of utilities; the location of property lines; and the exact square footage or acreage of the property. AS PART OF ANY WRITTEN OFFER TO PURCHASE A PROPERTY, THE COMPANY STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE BUYER ENGAGE THE SERVICES OF APPROPRIATE PROFESSIONALS TO CONDUCT INSPECTIONS, INVESTIGATIONS, TESTS, SURVEYS, AND OTHER EVALUATIONS OF THE PROPERTY AT THE BUYER'S EXPENSE. IF THE BUYER FAILS TO DO SO, THE BUYER IS ACTING CONTRARY TO THE ADVICE OF THE COMPANY.

7. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute under this Agreement shall be required to be resolved by binding arbitration of the parties hereto. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, each party shall select one arbitrator and both arbitrators shall then select a third. The third arbitrator so selected shall arbitrate said dispute.
