Info Center > For Buyers > Buyer Representation Q & A
QWhat is a Buyer Representative?
AA Buyer Representative
works solely for you and has no legal or other responsibilities to the
seller.* When working with a Buyer Representative, you have the advantage
of personal representation, independent counseling, loyalty, confidentiality,
and trust.
*In a case where the property your agent is representing you to buy
is also that agent's listing, Transaction Broker agency applies. Talk
to your agent for more information.
QDo home buyers need the help of a Buyer Representative?
AYou bet! Because when buyers work with a real estate professional who is 100% loyal and completely committed to them, chances are that the entire home-buying process will go smoothly, with a higher level of buyer satisfaction.
QCan a Buyer Representative show us the same properties?
AYes, a Buyer Representative can show you every home listed in the REALTOR®'s Multiple Listing Service (MLS), and For Sale By Owner (FSBO) properties.
QWill a Buyer Representative disclose more information to us?
AYes indeed. Because a Buyer Representative's fiduciary responsibility is to you, he or she can be more forthcoming with any information they find out about the Seller, their motivations and price.
QDoes a Buyer Representative make decisions for us?
ANo. As your personal ally, advocating your best interests, a Buyer Representative is obligated to provide you with maximum information about buying a home, each step of the way. That means disclosing specifics about location, property values, offering price, negotiations, counteroffers, contingencies, financing, and the entire closing process.
QWhat if I have few more questions?
AWe can give you more details and answer all of your questions. Please jot them down, and we'll go over them when you're ready.
