"BRETTA" - HOW BRETTA AFFECTS YOU!

• On January 1,1994, the Brokerage Relationships in Real Estate Transactions Act (BRETTA) became law in the state of Georgia.  This Act clarifies relationships between brokers, buyers and sellers.  BRETTA calls for full disclosure of the working relationships and legal obligations between Agents and their Clients or Customers.

• Agents are now required by state law to disclose to you who they are working for.  This disclosure should take place early in your relationship with the Agent.  The Agent may work for: the buyer, the seller or no-one.  Dual Agency is another form of representation when an Agent has a formal signed agreement with both the buyer and seller, and the agent is representing both parties in the sale of the same home.  This form of agency can only exist with disclosure to, and permission of, all parties involved in the real estate transaction.
