What’s in it
AI summary Real estate agents are not allowed to personally own the property they are helping a client sell. While agents can enter a property to do their jobs or follow a written agreement, the property owner is responsible for keeping the home safe and well-maintained. Agents generally won't be held responsible if someone gets hurt or if property is damaged unless the agent's own actions directly caused the problem.1
