Start with agency relationship
NAR consumer guidance on agency and non-agency relationships supports explaining that role, representation, and obligations must be clarified before a transaction.
Evidence-supported guide
What this page covers
Separate valuation and representation
The appraisal-process and home-value sources support keeping price opinions, appraisal, and market estimates separate from agency-role claims.
Use consumer sources before choosing
ABA, Realtor.com, Zillow, and realtor directory sources support asking role, compensation, communication, and conflict questions before selecting an agent.
Before choosing
Use this practical checklist
- Ask who the agent represents and whether any dual-agency or non-agency relationship applies.
- Confirm compensation, services, communication expectations, and written agreement.
- Do not treat online estimates or directories as proof of market value or agent fit.
