Buying a San Antonio Home - Use A Buyer Agent
Posted by Randy Kelley on September 25, 2009
Real estate agency rules really aren’t complicated.
Here are the things to know about Buyer Agency:
- The buyer agent’s duty is to represent the buyer by putting the buyer’s interests first in all respects.
- The buyer agent’s role is to find and show properties, advise the buyer regarding acquisition strategies and offering prices, help with the process of obtaining financing, write the offer and associated documents, negotiate the purchase terms and conditions, and generally oversee and facilitate the purchase from inception to closing.
- The buyer agent is typically paid a percentage of the commission that the seller has agreed to pay the listing broker. But the source of the commission is immaterial, because legally, professionally, and ethically, the buyers agent represents the buyer, not the seller.
