  Benefits of a Buyer's Agent

  • A buyer’s agent represents you, the buyer, not the seller, and has full fiduciary duties, including loyalty to you. By definition, the Buyer's Agent has your best interests in mind throughout the transaction. 
  • The benefits of this type of buyer representation is the dedication of an agent to the home buyer. The buyer's agent and home buyer establish a mutual agreement, known as an  Exclusive Buyer's Agency  agreement that will entitle the buyer to::
  • Loyalty The real estate agent must act in the best interest of the buyer.
  • Disclosure All material facts such as relationships between agents and other parties, existence of other offers, status of earnest money, seller’s financial condition, property’s true worth, commission split with other brokers, and legal effect of important contract provisions.
  • Confidentiality Any discussions, facts or information that should not be revealed to others but does include responsibility of fairness and honesty in dealings with all parties.
  • Accounting in dealings Reporting of where any money placed in the hands of the broker is kept.
  • Reasonable Skill and Care Arriving at a reasonable purchase price and advising the buyer of such, affirmatively discovering material facts and disclosing them to the buyer, investigating the material facts related to the sale. With a buyer agency, the interests of the homebuyer will be represented in the purchase of the home. This scenario is different from a typical transaction where the buyer is not technically represented.
