In a single agent relationship, which party does the agent primarily represent?

In a single agent relationship, the agent primarily represents the seller. This means that the agent's primary fiduciary duty is to act in the best interests of the seller throughout the transaction. This includes advocating for the seller’s needs, negotiating favorable terms, and providing guidance based on the seller's goals and objectives.

In real estate transactions, a single agency relationship establishes a clear line of representation and responsibility, ensuring that the agent's actions align with the seller's interests. In contrast, a dual agency, where an agent represents both the buyer and the seller, can create conflicts of interest, which is why most agents prefer to operate under a single agency when possible.

The other options do not align with the definition of a single agent relationship; representing both parties equally blurs the lines of loyalty and responsibility, and the title company serves as a neutral third party in the transaction, not as a representation of either side.
