A Realtor®, unless specifically disclosed otherwise, almost always represents the seller in any sale or purchase of a home. It is that Realtor's fiduciary duty to protect the seller's interests at all times.

But, there is another option available to you as a Buyer.  In most cases, you can have a Realtor® who is working as your representative putting your interests above all others.

First, let's define what a Buyers Agent is ?  Realtors®, by law, can act in either of two separate roles these days.   A Listing or "Sellers" agent represents the seller and is obligated by law to get the best price and terms for the seller.   A Buyers Agent, on the other hand, works for the Buyer and must legally and ethically look out for the buyer's best interest, not the seller's.  In addition to helping you find the right home, your Buyers Agent is also required to keep all your information confidential from the Seller and the Seller's agent, provide you information on a home's true market value, help you negotiate the best price and terms, and handle all the details to make the entire home buying process easier and more convenient for you.

Why use a "Buyers Agent" ?  With a "Buyers Agent," in almost all cases, your interests are represented at no cost to you.  The fee or commission to be paid to your Buyers Agent will come from the Seller under the terms of the listing contract agreed to between the Seller and the Listing Broker.   A better question might be, "Why wouldn't you want a Buyers Agent since it costs you nothing.

Some Realtors® act only as Buyers Agents.   Others like us, have the knowledge and experience to provide outstanding service to both Buyers and Sellers.  So, if you'd like to be represented by a Buyers Agent, just ask us to act in that role for you.  Then, you'll know that, as your Realtors®, we are "looking out for you and your interests only."
