Should I use the listing agent to buy a house?

Debbie Bertelson, ABR, SRES answered:
Dewdew,
I am a licensed Wisconsin Realtor. It would appear the listing agent has procuring cause because
she took you through the home, answered your questions, etc. If the agent who was on vacation would write the offer she may not get paid. When I go on vacation I always tell my clients and leave them a phone
number of the person who can assist them when I'm gone.

Even if you had signed a Buyers Agency Agreement with the agent on vacation before going through the home and the list agent took you through the listing agent could have procuring cause.

If you prefer to be represented as a Buyers Agent (which I highly recommend), talk to the listing agent and she will have someone in her office help you.

I feel bad for the agent who was on vacation, but we have a code of conduct we must follow. - Thu Oct 22 2009, 11:26
