A 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. On the other hand, while helping you present an offer and then negotiate and close a transaction, a general real estate agent has certain fiduciary responsibilities to the seller and agent of any property you choose.
*In a case where the property your agent is representing you to buy is also that agent’s listing, dual agency applies. Talk to your agent for more information.
