While real estate professionals guide the process, the ultimate authority and liability rest with the principals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Key &#8216;Players&#8217; and Who Controls What<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. The Principals (The Buyer &amp; The Seller) \u2014 Ultimately In Charge<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Decision Makers:<\/strong> You are the boss. Agents, lawyers, and brokers cannot force you to buy, sell, accept an offer, or lower your price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Signatories:<\/strong> Only the principals can legally sign the purchase and sale agreement, amendments, and closing documents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. The Real Estate Brokers &amp; Agents \u2014 In Charge of Process and Strategy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fiduciaries:<\/strong> Agents are hired representatives. They are &#8220;in charge&#8221; of managing marketing, negotiating tactics, paperwork deadlines, and coordinating showings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Managing Broker:<\/strong> Every real estate agent works under a managing broker. The broker is legally &#8220;in charge&#8221; of overseeing the agent\u2019s compliance with local real estate laws and managing the brokerage&#8217;s trust accounts (where deposit money is held).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. The Real Estate Attorney or Escrow\/Title Officer \u2014 In Charge of Legalities and Funds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Closing Authority:<\/strong> Depending on your region, either a real estate lawyer or a title\/escrow company is &#8220;in charge&#8221; of ensuring the title transfers cleanly from seller to buyer. They legally handle and distribute the millions of dollars involved in the transaction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.
