Broker Agency
Consumer Information
Since August 17th, 2024, the National Association of Realtors requires its agents who are providing services to a buyer to enter into a written agreement before the buyer tours a property listed on the MLS.
A buyer's agent differs from a listing agent in a significant way. While both are real estate professionals who are heavily involved in completing the real estate transaction, its representations of and their best interests that differs.
The buyer's agent negotiates the best deal on the home and ensures that the contract contains protections for the buyer and expertise to help you achieve your real estate goals.
I represent you, it's my fiduciary duty
"A buyer's agent WORKS ONLY FOR THE BUYER. A buyer's agent has fiduciary duties to the buyer which include reasonable care, undivided loyalty, confidentiality and full disclosure. However, in dealing with sellers, a buyer's agent must act honestly. In dealing with both parties, a buyer's agent may not make any misrepresentations on matters material to the transaction, such as the buyer's financial ability to pay, and must disclose defects of a material nature affecting the physical condition of the property which a reasonable inspection by the licensee would disclose. A buyer wishing to be represented by a buyer's agent is advised to enter into a separate written buyer agency contract with the brokerage firm, which is to work as their agent "
