Representation Options in the State of Missouri
Real estate hinges on the concept of agency and non-agency (or transaction brokerage), in which real estate professionals represent the needs of the buyer and/or the seller. This representation or assistance works to perform the needed steps to enable the sale of real property between the seller and the buyer.
Buyers and sellers have specific legal rights when working with you on either the selling/landlord representation side or the buying/tenant representation side.
