Um, no they can't. As a real estate agent, I would never suggest that I represent the client in drawing up a contract, etc. No way, no how. My job is to market the property, negotiate price and terms, then put together a "meeting of the minds" which outlines the agreement. Then it's up to the seller's attorney to draw up a contract based upon those terms.
