Zephyr expands your choice of properties

With your commitment to a Zephyr agent, you are broadening your options. As members of the San Francisco Association of REALTORS® Multiple Listing Service, Zephyr agents have access to the listings of all other agents and real estate companies. Also, your Zephyr agent can inform you of properties for sale by owner and some properties that are not yet on the market.

Zephyr agents have an outstanding reputation in the San Francisco real estate community. The excellent relationship and network we have established the past 30 years with REALTORS ® from other top firms lead to quicker and smoother transactions.

The agency agreement

As a buyer, you do not pay any fees for your agent’s services; the commission is paid by the seller. Because your agent will be investing many hours of time and making available to you all of our experience and expertise, your loyalty is of the utmost importance.

As you and your Zephyr agent begin the process of locating a property, a buyer/agency relationship is established in which Zephyr has a fiduciary obligation to you with a duty to provide the utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty.

In certain circumstances, Zephyr may become a Dual Agent, representing both you and the seller. When acting as a Dual Agent, Zephyr has the same obligations of care, fairness and honesty to the seller as to the buyer, but may not disclose to a buyer that the seller will accept a price less than the listing price or to the seller that a buyer will pay a price greater than the price offered. Dual Agency will occur if you wish to purchase a property which has been listed by any Zephyr agent.

At the time an offer to purchase a property is prepared; you will receive a form called a “Disclosure Regarding Real Estate Agency Relationships” reiterating the different types of agency relationships. At that time, you will know whether Zephyr is acting as a Buyer’s Agent or a Dual Agent.
