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 the agent. The real estate industry exclusive represented the Seller. A number of growing Real Estate Agents and the public want Buyers to have an equal level equal of representation in the real estate transaction. The National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents is proudly pioneering a nationwide effort to give today’s home-buying consumers the level of service they demand. We firmly believe that the home buyer has a right to full and equal representation and service. As consumers learn how the real estate industry works, they are demanding the level of service that only an Exclusive Buyer Agent can provide. Exclusive Buyer Agents can assist you with locating and evaluating property. An EBA will not ask you to limit your level of service for their benefit. The goal of the EBA is always to protect you – the Buyer. If you are considering buying a luxury home, finding a resort home, buying a second home, or purchasing an estate home, working with an EBA is strongly recommended. an agent retained by the buyer to represent the buyer's interests. Requires an agreement of the parties for agent to represent the buyer - not all agents who show homes to buyers represent them! Duty is to locate the right home for the buyer, and negotiate on buyers' behalf for best price and terms, maintain buyer's confidentiality and disclose all known information about the seller AND THE HOME to the buyer.
Exclusive Buyer Agent Agreement:
Interviewing a real estate agent can help to ease a buyer's uncertainty. But many buyers are leery of signing agreements because they are concerned that the relationship might not work out. They don't want to be stuck with a crummy agent, and that's understandable.
Request a Non-Exclusive Agreement
These agreements provide compensation to the agent if you decide to switch agents midstream and buy a home introduced to you by the first agent. It protects the agent by establishing procuring cause. But you are free to pursue any other homes with another agent.
Compromise
You can tell the agent that you prefer to spend a little time getting to know the agent before signing an exclusive buyer's broker agreement. It's reasonable to say, "Let's spend an afternoon looking at homes, and if I think we can work together, I will sign an agreement with you before we go out again.
Specify Areas and Terms
Most contracts contain a description of the property. If you are undecided about areas, you might want to specify the terms and area in the contract, which will allow you to work with other agents in other areas or at different terms.
Ask For a Guarantee
I guarantee buyers that if either of us decide that the relationship is not working out or our personalities clash, I will release them from the agreement, and they can do likewise.
