What Is a Buyer-Broker Agreement?
A Buyer-Broker Agreement is a legal contract between you (the homebuyer) and your real estate agent.
Think of it as a mutual commitment: your agent promises to represent your best interests, without conflicts of interest, and you agree to work exclusively with them. It’s about building trust, setting expectations, and ensuring everyone is on the same page from the start.
