If you?ve started looking for a home?and a real estate professional to assist you?your buyer?s representative may ask you to sign a Buyer Representation Agreement. What is this form? Why should you sign it? A Buyer Representation Agreement is a legal document that formalizes your working relationship with a particular buyer?s representative, detailing what services you are entitled to and what your buyer?s rep expects from you in return. While the language used in the document is formal, homebuyers should view it as an important and helpful tool for clarifying expectations, developing mutual loyalty, and most importantly, elevating the services you will receive. 1. Receive a higher level of service. If you?ve formalized an agency relationship with a buyer?s rep,you can expect to be treated like a client instead of a customer. What?s the difference? Clients are entitled to superior services, relative to customers. While the details vary from state to state, and from one buyer?s agent to another, you can generally assume that being a client means that you?ve formed a fiduciary, or agency, relationship with your buyer?s rep. 2. Get more without paying more. In almost every case, home sellers have already agreed to pay a buyer?s agent?s commission. If they haven?t, you can ask your buyer?s rep to avoid showing you any such homes. Or you can still view the home, knowing that you?ll need to factor your agent?s commission into any offer you may write. While buyers rarely pay real estate commissions, this is an important detail you?ll want to discuss with your buyer?s rep and clarify in their representation agreement. 3. Avoid misunderstandings. A Buyer?s Representation Agreement clarifies expectations, helping you understand what you should and shouldn?t expect from your buyer?s rep, and what they will expect from you, which usually centers on loyalty. 4. Agency relationships are based on mutual consent. While most representation agreements specify a time period, they can be terminated early if both parties consent. Most buyer?s reps are willing to end the agreement early if the working relationship isn?t going well. Some buyer?s reps also offer representation agreements for as little as one day, for the purpose of giving both parties a brief trial period to explore working together. 5. Strength as a team. When you and your buyer?s rep work together within a formalized agency relationship, you have created a team dedicated to helping you achieve the best po

A buyer?s representative (or simply buyer?s rep) is a licensed real estate professional who represents prospective home buyers in their property transaction. If you?ve formalized an agency relationship, typically by signing a buyer?s rep agreement with a buyer?s rep, you can expect him or her to: Understand your specific needs and wants, and locate appropriate properties. Assist you in determining how much you can afford (pre-qualify your mortgage). Preview and/or accompany you in viewing properties. Research properties, to identify any problems or issues you should consider. Advise you in formulating your offer. Help you develop your negotiation strategy. Provide a list of potential qualified vendors (such as inspectors, attorneys, lenders, etc.) for other related services that may be needed. Keep track of all the details throughout the entire transaction?to closing and beyond. In other words, a buyer?s rep should make your home buying experience go as smoothly and successfully as possible. But not all buyer?s reps are equal. A buyer?s rep who has earned the Accredited Buyer?s Representative (ABR) REALTOR designation has made an extra effort to raise the bar, with additional training and experience in serving you, the home buyer. If you work with an ABR, you can feel more confident that you?ll receive the highest level of buyer-representation services.

Services will vary, depending on your agency status* If you are a CUSTOMER (no agency relationship), an agent will: If you are a CLIENT (agency relationship), your agent will: Maintain loyalty to the seller?s need Pay full attention to your needs Tell the seller all that they know about you Tell you all that they know about the seller Keep information about the seller confidential Keep information about you confidential Focus on the seller-client?s property Focus on choices that satisfy your needs Provide just the material facts Provide material facts as well as professional advice Only provide price information that supports the seller?s listing price Provide price counseling based on comparable properties and their professional insights Protect the seller Protect and guide you Negotiate on behalf of the seller Negotiate on your behalf Attempt to solve problems to the seller?s advantage and satisfaction Attempt to solve problems to your advantage and satisfaction

Descriptions of Agency: The Buyer Agency Agreement There are agents, and then there are agents. Yes, it sounds confusing. That?s because the term ?agent? is often used in a casual manner, referring to any real estate practitioner. But agent also refers to someone with whom you?ve established a formal agency relationship?someone who represents your best interests in a real estate transaction and owes you fiduciary responsibilities. Agency relationships are usually established in writing with buyer agency agreements, and require: loyalty obedience disclosure confidentiality reasonable care and diligence accounting If you need help in finding a buyers agents to represent you let me know I help you a personal buyers representative
