HUD has just released its latest version of "Shopping for Your Home Loan - HUD's Settlement Cost Booklet."  On page 6, it discusses the role of a real estate broker or agent and now includes a bolded reference to exclusive buyer's agents.  It says,

"It is your responsibility to search for an agent who will represent your interests in the real estate transaction. If you want someone to represent only your interests, consider hiring an “exclusive buyer’s agent”, who will be working for you."
