As a real estate owner's agent, the typical duties include preparing comparative market research analysis to establish a realistic asking price for the property, identifying the top selling points of the property for the neighborhood, and pinpointing the best places to invest money in the property to increase its value. The agent is also responsible for meeting with clients to discuss their ideal property requirements and financial abilities, and performing comparative market analysis to estimate the property's value. Additionally, the agent provides guidance and assistance to sellers and buyers in marketing and purchasing property for the right price and under the best terms. The agent must keep track of important documents and disclosures, and use reasonable care and diligence in pursuing the client's affairs. Dual agency may occur when the agent is representing both the buyer and the seller, and the agent must be aware of the fiduciary duties owed to both parties.
