A Buyer’s Agent is an advocate for the buyer—not the seller—in a real estate transaction. The Buyer’s Agent owes fiduciary (legal) duties, including loyalty and confidentiality, to their buyer-clients.A Buyer’s Agent keeps their clients’ best interests in mind through the entire transaction.To ensure that your working relationship is clearly defined, a separate written buyer agency agreement is required which sets forth the duties and obligations of the broker and the buyer.
Why Should I Use a Buyer’s Agent?
Most likely, the seller of whatever property you’d like to buy will be represented by a Listing Agent or Seller’s Agent.Don’t you want the same kind of service as a buyer?
Representing the home buyer is a distinction that can save you time, money, and effort. My exclusive representation provides personalized service AT NO COST to you (i.e. the commission is paid by the seller and shared between the listing broker and the selling broker). As your Buyer’s Agent I will:
Represent you as a true client, not just a customer
Show you the entire market with absolutely no bias
Provide property value studies and give you price advice
Research the seller or property to provide strategic insight
Disclose any reasons NOT to buy!
