In CA, if you ask a realtor to find you a house they are your agent.  If you 
see a house/property listed and ask the listing agent about it they have to 
advise you that you might want to get an agent to represent you when you get 
past the "looky loo" stage.  If you *choose* to use them as "buyer's" agent 
when they are also "seller's" agent, there are 3 or 4 forms they have to 
fill out with full disclosures.  You are not bound to the seller's agent 
just because you called on an ad and asked questions.
