What is Buyer’s Agent?

A buyer’s agent represents the buyer, helping them find homes, evaluate value, write competitive offers, and negotiate in the buyer’s best interest. Their fiduciary duty is to the buyer. Their compensation arrangement is set out in the buyer representation agreement and the transaction documents.

Example: A buyer’s agent runs comparable sales, advises an offer price below the list price, and negotiates repairs after the inspection.
