Buyer agency is an alternative that gives a buyer the same
representation and support that sellers have received. However, buyer
agency allows a real estate professional to exercise all of his or her
expertise exclusively in the buyer’s behalf. In the relationship,
an agent is contracted to represent only the buyer in a transaction.
With this clear commitment, the buyer’s agent is aligned solely with the
buyer’s interest.
If you are a buyer, the agent serves as your advocate
through the buyer agency relationship. And you can expect a number of
advantages. The buyer agency agreement, based on confidentiality and
trust, means that you need only work with one REALTOR®.
Your buyer agent typically invests much time and energy into your search.
The buyer agent’s commission is most often paid by the
seller, just as a seller would pay a subagent.
PATRICIA recognized the national trend
toward buyer agency transactions, and she took measures to obtain the training
required to fulfill the needs of their clients. This training
resulted in her achievement of the 'Accredited Buyers Representative' designation.
