What is a Buyer’s Agent and why do I need one?
When searching for a home, it is important that you feel you can trust the Agent you are working with. After all, this is someone you will be sharing your personal, financial, and confidential information with. How can you be sure that they have your best interest in mind, and that they will keep your information confidential? The answer is: you don't, unless they represent you as your Buyer's Agent.
How does it work?
In Massachusetts, agents can represent either the seller or the buyer. When a seller lists their property through a real estate company, the agent from that company works with them as their listing agent for that property. The listing agent represents the seller, and the seller agrees to pay them a commission, which comes directly out of the proceeds of the sale. Potential buyers for the property may contact the listing agent directly, but they need to keep in mind that the listing agent works for the seller, and has the seller's best interest in mind not theirs when negotiating an offer. The Sellers agent is bound to provide and disclose all information they have gathered about the buyer to the seller.
As a homebuyer, you have the legal right to choose your own agent. So, why not choose an exclusive buyer’s agent who will have YOUR best interest in mind when negotiating? One who is bound to keep their buyer client's information confidential?
When the buyer and seller are represented by their own agents this is called a cooperating-broke transaction or a co-broke. This is the most common type of transaction in MA real estate. When a co-broke transaction occurs, the commission gets divided between both agents; therefore most often it costs a buyer nothing to hire their own agent.
A Buyer's Agent provides client-level service to the buyers they work for. This level of service includes fiduciary duties such as Loyalty, Full Disclosure, Confidentiality, Reasonable Care, Due Diligence and Accounting.
- A Buyer's Agent is legally bound to represent the Buyer's interest exclusively.
- A Buyer's Agent assists the Buyer in writing and negotiating offers.
- Buyer Representation gives the Buyer the same level of loyalty & service that the seller receives from their Listing Agent.
- A Buyer's Agent cannot disclose any confidential or financial information about their client unless they have written permission from their Buyer client.
