Disclosure and consent does exactly what I am saying, it discloses the right,therefore authorizes the buyer’s agent to show and write offers,including multiple offers on the buyers target properties to and for other buyers. The Boiler plate CAR buyers brokers agreement FORM BBNN does the same thing. These forms are written for realtors.
Like I said, you can cross out that authorization and in Item 7 there is room to write in “other terms and conditions”. Put in there that your agent will not write competing offers against your offers. The paper work really should be less of an issue many buyer brokers perform without contracts and wouldn’t do this to their clients.
I would be concerned that the agent writing multiple offers on the same property was in cahoots with the seller too. It just does have conflict of interest all over it. In any case it shows that the agent cares more about commissions than his client. The first client should be told and have the choice, not the second client. Yes there are conflicting “technicalities”, too bad.
