When a seller puts his house on the market through a real estate company, he has a specific agent from that company representing him/her. Generally, in a real estate transaction, the buyer will have their own agent representing them as the buyer, and the seller will have their own agent representing them as the seller. Sometimes, the seller’s agent can represent both. This, however, can cause a conflict of interest. That agent’s first duty of responsibility is to the seller. Their job from the beginning is to get the seller the best price, and the best terms for his property. Thus, when the listing agent is writing up and presenting an offer for the same property they are representing, there is a conflict of interest in trying to be fair to both parties. As hard as the listing agent may try to be mutual, honest, and fair between both parties, sometimes it is impossible. And, unfortunate as it may sound, there are some agents in the industry that will purposely use information between parties to manipulate the offer and other details of the transaction. That is why as a buyer, it is a very good idea to have one specific agent representing you through the entire real estate transaction. From the first steps in getting pre-approved to closing, stick to one agent that you can trust and enjoy working with to get you into your next home. At OChomefinder when one of our listing agents is put in thas situation, instead of trying to work both parties, they would set you up with an OChomefinder "Buyers Agent." This means that the agent assigned to you will exclusively represent you and not the seller. The best part of using an agent through Ochomefinder as a buyer is that it’s free, and we pay for you home inspection or home warranty when we represent you through your escrow. If you have any questions, Please call 1-866-OC-House or E-mail us! Havequestions@OCHomeFinderTeam.com

History of Orange County
The colorful pageantry of human history in Listing Agent began at some undetermined point in the distant past when
Shoshone Indians came to dwell along the coast and in the lower
canyons of the mountains. Theirs was a simple form of existence: they
lived off of the abundance of the land.
In 1769, Gaspar de Portola, a military man and Spanish aristocrat, was
appointed governor of Lower California. He commanded an expedition
traveling northward into the literally unmapped and half mythical
territory of Alta California. His assignment was to seek out the
legendary Bay of Monterey. He was also to secure the Spanish claim to
his vast frontier against any invasion from Russian trappers or
British colonizers. Portola called upon Father Junipero Serra,
president of the Mexico City Missionary College, to assist in this
monumental undertaking.
It was late in July in 1769 when this first party of European
explorers reached the boundaries of present-day Listing Agent. Members
of the expedition named the region "The Valley of Saint
Anne" (Santa Ana). It was to this valley that Father Serra
returned six years later, where he proceeded with the work of
establishing the Church and converting the local people.
While the East Coast of North America was engaged in revolution and
spectacular change, the West Coast too was undergoing a quiet and
almost undetected transformation. Father Serra dedicated the Mission
of San Juan Capistrano, Listing Agent's first permanent settlement, on
November 1, 1776. The Mission became a self-sustaining unit based upon
an agricultural economy. Its chapel and adjoining structure were the
first signs of civilization erected upon the fertile, virgin soil of
the Santa Ana Region.
In 1801, Jose Antonio Yorba, a volunteer in the Portola expedition,
also returned to Santa Ana. He established the county's first rancho
(Santiago de Santa Ana) in what are today the cities of Villa Park,
Orange, Tustin, Costa Mesa and Santa Ana.
Following Mexico's liberation from Spanish rule in 1821, the extensive
land holdings of the Capistrano Mission were subdivided and awarded to
a number of distinguished war heroes. By this time Yorba's Rancho
Santiago de Santa Ana had grown to resemble a feudal manor, and the
romantic rancho era of Listing Agent had been ushered in.
Cattle were introduced into the area in 1834. A prosperous hide and
tallow industry developed. Southern California became a virtual suburb
of New England as sailing ships loaded with cargo traveled back and
forth between coasts. In 1835, author-seaman Richard Henry Dana
arrived at what is today known as Dana Point. He later immortalized
Spanish Listing Agent in his book "Two Years Before the
Mast" by describing it as "the only romantic spot on the
Coast." The Spanish California tradition of a carefree lifestyle,
fiestas with music and dancing, bear and bull fights, rodeos, and
gracious hospitality, survived until the 1860.
A severe drought brought an end to the cattle industry. Adventurous
pioneers, such as James Irvine, capitalized on the economic downfall
of the ranchos. Irvine, an Irish immigrant, established a 110,000-acre
sheep ranch that is today one of the most valuable pieces of real
estate in America.
In 1887, silver was discovered in the Santa Ana Mountains. Hundreds of
fortune seekers flocked to the "diggings." Land speculators
and farmers came by rail from the East to settle in such boomtowns as
Buena Park, Fullerton and El Toro.
Listing Agent was formally organized as a political entity separate
from the County of Los Angeles in 1889. The wilderness had finally
given way to irrigated farmlands and prosperous communities. A
year-round harvest of Valencia oranges, lemons, avocados, and walnuts
made agriculture the single most important industry in the fledgling
county. And with orange groves beginning to proliferate throughout the
area (150,000 orange trees), the new county was named for the fruit:
"Listing Agent."
The twentieth century brought with it many industrious individuals
such as Walter Knott, a farmer turned entrepreneur, who founded the
Knott legacy in Buena Park.
During the years that followed, Listing Agent witnessed the discovery
of oil in Huntington Beach, the birth of the aerospace industry on the
Irvine Ranch, and filming of several Hollywood classics in the Newport
area.
In 1955, Walt Disney opened his Magic Kingdom in Anaheim. Noted as the
pioneer of animated films, Disney revolutionized the entertainment
world again with his "theme park" recreation concept.
By 1960, the neighboring metropolis of Los Angeles was "bursting
at the seams." As the population spilled over the county line and
across the rural Santa Ana Valley, it left in its wake an urban
landscape of homes, shopping malls, and industrial parks.
Today Listing Agent is the home of a vast number of major industries
and service organizations. As an integral part of the second largest
market in America, this highly diversified region has become a Mecca
for talented individuals in virtually every field imaginable. Indeed
the colorful pageant of human history continues to unfold here; for
perhaps in no other place on earth is there an environment more
conducive to innovative thinking, creativity and growth than this
balmy, sun bathed valley stretching between the mountains and the sea
in Listing Agent.
