2.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Agency Lite -- Let the Buyer Beware, February 14, 2003
Definitely a respectable book for those who are looking to practice limited buyer agency.

Those who are interested in functioning as true buyer agents would be better served by Ray Wilson's book, "Bought, Not Sold" though.

Wilson's book deals with putting client interests ahead of all others, including that of the licensee's own. Harlan and Lyons, while the first on the scene to mass popularize the concept of buyer agency, have done so more as a marketing method, than as a representation first model.

Harlan and Lyons's book is not threatening to the desire of traditional real estate agents to control and influence both sides of the transaction, which explains why they have had success in promoting their book on a wholesale basis.

With them, it's about what is best for the licensee, not the client.
