The real estate industry is in the process of many changes, which have mostly benefited the consumer in assisting to better educate and protect both buyers and sellers during the entire process. One of the changes is the way relationships are established between yourself and the agents involved in the transition. For example, who is representing the Seller and who will be representing the Buyer? Historically, the agent was supposed to be representing the party who was paying the commission, which was usually the seller. Although, if the agent is working with his or her brother or sister, as buyers, whose best interest is being served? Is there a conflict of interest, if the agent has a listing and his or her relative is interested in purchasing the property, the question is, whose interest is going to be the priority?

Therefore,the Pennsylvania Consumer Act 112 was enacted in November 1999. Whereas, when a substantial discussion occurs between a prospective buyer or a potential seller, regarding the process of home marketing or financially qualifying a prospective buyer occurs, the agent must disclose the various options that are available regarding agency and the manner of representation to the parties involved. This Consumer notice document is not a contract nor an obligation for performance. It is merely an acceptance of a required disclosure by real estate practitioners, licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which must be acknowledged and signed by the prospective consumer before the agent may proceed in listing the property of sale or advising a prospective purchaser in the home buying process.
