It's all in the way that it's presented and practiced.If you are facilitating transactions on behalf of/representing the interest of one party or another, and receiving compensation for providing that service, then you're more likely to be viewed as performing the role of an agent or broker.  

Unfortunately is seems you are getting into a dual agency agreement, so you no longer have an agent representing you, instead the agent is representing their own interest (that you are paying 6% for). 

Contact your local representatives if you're interested in seeing this pass.The bill and its full text can be found at here.The Virginia State Assembly has the proposed Limited Residential Lodging Act (the Act) for consideration in 2017 which would have an impact on short term rentals and bed and breakfasts across the state.

Similar to how, if you're an agent representing a renter, and that rental isn't on the MLS, the likelihood of you representing them would be a lot less.You could represent them, but I can imagine it would take 3x longer than the average buyer to secure a home. 

I don't know for sure, but I have a sense that it helps to submit an offer where you think the offer needs to be, even if you know they're going to reject it because at least it represents real market feedback to the REO asset manager.

I work at a boutique PR firm that represents local real estate development companies.

While you may have had an agreement in writing your representatives allowed them to move out. 

My wife and I have always been into real estate buying and renovating personal property as well as doing some house hacking, now we are looking to dive a little deeper and start exploring investing into SFH's and particularly the BRRR approach.Glad to see Canada is represented here, the market feels a little different up here. 

Hello all,I am new to the BP forums but have been a landlord for about 10-yr (former primary residence turned rental) and need a referral to a very competent, aggressive and experienced attorney to represent our interest as the homeowner against our HOA.I won't post our entire sob story, however, the HOA is liable for interior water damage and associated collateral damages to our town home due to neglect in maintaining the roof.

As a legal entity you could not represent the HOA only an attorney could.
