Regarding #4 – Different States have different laws. In Wisconsin – even if an agent works for the seller they can’t reveal any of the buyer’s confidential info to the seller without the buyer’s permission. Ask your local Realtor – and don’t forget to ask if they offer Buyer Agency where the agent works for you, the buyer, not the seller.
