Our team uses a Buyer Broker Agreement to formalize our relationship. It means that you are committed to buying a home and that you are committed to working with us.
It does not mean you have to buy a home.
Rather, it means that you want to and are serious about it. It also establishes a fiduciary duty to put your interests above all others, including our own.
In the past, buyers usually did not pay their buyer agent’s fee directly. Instead, it was included in the sales price, with the seller covering both agents' commission or compensation.
Realtor fees have become more transparent and openly negotiable.
What’s the bottom line? When you hire us, we sign a Broker Representation & Broker Compensation Agreement. This outlines our fiduciary duty to represent your best interests and establishes an exclusive relationship. It also lays out our compensation, aka how we get paid.
There are three potential ways a buyer’s agent can get paid:
Note that these options are not mutually exclusive. We’ve also provided a sample agreement to review at your own pace.
