A free booklet, "How
to Avoid the Costly Trap of Conflict of Interest in Real Estate," is
available to consumers from Glendale-based Right Home, which provides
real estate brokerage services, mortgage financing and escrow services.
One trap is when the
same real estate agent represents both the buyer and the seller in a
transaction. The agent is really working for himself and is legally able
to collect commissions from the listing and buyer sides of the
transaction, commonly referred to as "double ending" the deal.
Another is when an
agent recommends certain service providers and receives a kickback
referral fee without disclosing the relationship to the client.
