For buyers
Know what your agent does and how they’re paid.
Get full-service guidance from your first search through closing. Discuss the agreement and the cost before touring together.
- Build a search around your needs. Talk through your priorities, tour properties together and compare what you learn.
- Review the written agreement before touring together. We’ll review and sign the applicable buyer representation agreement, including services and compensation.
- Discuss how the fee might be covered. A seller or listing broker may cover some or all of the agreed fee, depending on the terms and applicable rules. Compensation and contributions are negotiable and contributions are not guaranteed.
- Know your responsibility before submitting an offer. If available compensation falls short, review the difference and the agreement. Discuss whether to request a contribution or whether you would owe the remaining amount under the terms.
- Work through the details. I’ll help you evaluate homes, prepare and negotiate offers, and navigate inspections, contingencies and closing.
Common questions
Is buyer representation always free?
No. The written agreement and transaction terms explain how the fee is handled and what you might owe.
When do we discuss my possible out-of-pocket cost?
Discuss the agreement before touring together, and review any potential shortfall before submitting an offer.
Can a seller contribute?
A contribution may be possible depending on the transaction. We’ll talk through the terms before you rely on a contribution.
