Buyer's Agents work solely for buyers, avoiding the conflicts of interest inherent in the traditional seller-oriented purchase transactions. This unique relationship of committed trust and care assures buyers the best possible home buying experience.The duties of a Buyer's Agent are:  Loyalty to the buyer by acting in the buyer's best interest. Confidentiality by not disclosing facts that could influence the buyer's ability to negotiate the best terms. Disclosure to other parties in the transaction that the licensee has been engaged as a buyer's agent. Locate and evaluate property Negotiate the best price and terms Evaluate loans and financing options Facilitate inspections, disclosures, contract compliance and the closing. A Buyer's Agent on your team will simplify the complexities of making a purchase so that you don't have to worry that you're being taken to the cleaners. Even if you've purchased a home previously, changes in law and financing make real estate negotiations more complex than ever before.Just as listing agents sign formal listing agreements with sellers, buying agents expect formal agreements, too. Like listing agreements, buyer's broker agreements are typically bilateral, which spell out the rights and duties of both parties. Because bilateral contracts are essentially a promise for a promise, if the agent doesn't perform, you may have the right to fire your agent.Using a buyer's agent also means that you may be shown homes that are For Sale By Owner (FSBO).It might seem like using a buyer's agency means you are going to pay more -- but that's not always the case. Although there are situations where agents charge an hourly fee or a flat fee for the service, (I do not), in most situations they are simply working for the same commission that is paid by the seller and split it with the seller's listing agent.
