When you walk into a model home or call the number on a for-sale sign, the agent you reach is almost always representing the seller – not you. That’s why working with your own buyer’s agent matters.
Who a buyer’s agent represents
A buyer’s agent has a legal and fiduciary duty to represent your interests throughout the transaction – negotiating price and terms on your behalf, not the seller’s.
What they do for you
A good buyer’s agent helps you find homes that fit your criteria, provides comparable sales data to inform your offer, negotiates on your behalf, coordinates inspections, and guides you through closing.
What it costs you
Buyer’s agent compensation is typically negotiated as part of the transaction and outlined in a written buyer representation agreement before you begin touring homes – ask your agent to walk you through exactly how they’re compensated.
