Will communication from interested buyers go through the listing agent or straight to me?
In a flat fee model like Houzeo, the communication for potential buyers happens directly with the sellers who have control over selling their homes. Some factors may involve the lead to be forwarded through the listing agent to the seller, but in the end, the communication about the sale of the property is solely dependent on the seller.
In case of buyers reaching out via third-party websites like Zillow, Redfin, Trulia, or Realtor.com, because the listing agents' information is available on their websites, the buyer may reach out to the listing agent, who will then forward your (the seller's) information to the inquirer so they can connect with you directly.
