Buyers Representation - It is important


The buyer's agent will work to negotiate the best price, work with you through the home search all the way to the closing, making sure you have the representation you need. Things you tell a buyer's agent remain confidential. Using a buyer's agent also means that you will be shown homes that are not only listed on the MLS but also For Sale By Owner (FBSO).

There are a huge variety of buyer broker agreements used throughout the United States. For simplicity, we will address the types of buyer agreements used in Tennessee, with most weight given to Designated Agent for the Buyer because it's the preferred form. 

Facilitator/Transaction Broker (not an agent for either party).

The licensee is not working as an agent for either party in this consumer’s prospective transaction. A facilitator may advise either or both of the parties to a transaction but cannot be considers a representative or advocate for either party. “Transaction Broker” may be used synonymously with, or in lieu of “facilitator” as used in any disclosures, forms or agreements. [By lay, any licensee or company who has not entered into a written agency agreement with either party in the transaction is considered a Facilitator or Transaction Broker until such time as an agency agreement is established.]
 
Agent for the Buyer.
The licensee’s company is working as an agent for the prospective buyer, owes primary loyalty to the buyer, and will work as an advocate for the best interests of the buyer. And agency relationship of this type cannot, by law, be established without a written buyer agency agreement.
 
Disclosed Dual Agent (for both parties)
Refers to situation in which the licensee has agreements to provide services as an agent to more than one party in a specific transaction and in which the interests of such parties are adverse.
 
Designated Agent for the Buyer
The individual licensee that has been assigned by his/her Managing Broker and is working as an agent for the buyer in the consumer’s prospective transaction, to the exclusion of all other licensees in his/her company. Even if someone else in the licensee’s company represents a seller in whose property the buyer is interested, the Designated Agent for the Buyer will continue to work as an advocate for the best interest of the buyers. An agency relationship of this type cannot by law, be established without a written agency agreement.

"To leave satisfied you must arrive prepared."

 

Consider this your home buyer’s toolkit. Open it up, take a look around, and if you like, start equipping yourself with the tools necessary to make your best purchase. In most businesses, knowledge equals power, and real estate is certainly no exception.
