If I call the listing brokerage directly on a McClellanville house, does that agent represent me?

Calling the listing brokerage directly on a McClellanville house does not automatically make that agent your representative, and in many cases they represent the seller alone or act as a dual agent representing both sides with reduced advocacy for either. South Carolina requires agents to disclose who they represent early in the relationship. Brian Beatty recommends buyers secure their own buyer's agent before touring a listing agent's property.
