The Scoop On Buyer the Representation Agreement
Excited to start your home-buying journey? A buyer representation agreement is the perfect way to kick things off and build a strong partnership with your real estate agent. Here’s what you should know:
Exclusive Representation
Most agreements are “exclusive,” meaning your chosen agent is fully committed to helping you find your dream home.
Services Provided
Your agent’s got you covered! Their responsibilities often include:
Personalized property searches
Market insights tailored to your needs
Scheduling and showing homes
Negotiating the best deal
Assisting through the closing process
Compensation
The agreement outlines how your agent is compensated, often through a commission funded by the Sellers. However, the buyer's agent compensation remains a topic of negotiation in the offer/contract process. This clarity helps avoid surprises.
