Buyer Agency: What Does It Cost You?

A real estate agent’s commission has traditionally been considered a cost of selling real estate. That means in many transactions, the seller offers compensation to the buyer’s agent through the MLS.

In those cases, having professional buyer representation may come at little to no direct cost to you as the buyer.

Why Would a Seller Pay Your Buyer’s Agent?

Because offering compensation to buyer agents increases exposure and brings more qualified buyers to the table.

When you see a home advertised online or listed in the MLS, the seller may be offering compensation to a licensed buyer’s agent who represents you.

Market analysis and pricing guidance
Contract explanation and negotiation strategy
Inspection coordination and repair negotiations
