represent the buyer. A Buyer's Agent can assist the
seller, but does not represent the seller. The Buyer's
Agent must place the interests of the buyer first. A
seller should not tell the Buyer's Agent anything they
would not want the buyer to know, because the Buyer's
Agent must disclose any pertinent information to the
buyer.

provide information to assist the buyer, but they must
