Questions about these services

Does Emily Dieckmann work with both buyers and sellers?
Most agents and brokerages represent both, but not in the same transaction without written consent. Ask how Emily Dieckmann handles dual agency or designated agency under Texas law.
What should I prepare before the first meeting?
Buyers: a mortgage pre-approval, a target budget and a list of must-haves. Sellers: your mortgage payoff estimate, a list of upgrades with dates, and any HOA or survey documents.
