When you sign a buyer agency agreement with an agent, the agent is working in YOUR best interests and they can provide you with extra services.
Without a buyer agency agreement, the agent is, by law, working for the seller.
Regardless of the agency agreement, there are certain things ALL agents MUST do for a buyer:
Protect your confidentiality
Treat you honestly and fairly
Respond honestly and accurately to questions concerning the property
Provide community data and current market conditions
Present contract proposals in an objective and unbiased manner
Accompany you to the closing and assist you through the process
Disclose material adverse facts about the property
The additional services you receive by entering into a buyer agency agreement with an agent are :
A professional opinion of the seller’s asking price, based on a comparable market analysis prepare for YOU.
Assist YOU in negotiations strategies in your best interest
Critique a seller’s property for you, beyond the required disclosing of defects
Advise on, write the offer and draft provisions in YOUR best interests
