When buying in Texas, you can choose a real estate professional to represent you and put your interest first.

This includes being your advocate, showing the property, giving you advice and opinion, negotiating on your behalf, handling all the details, and keeping you informed. This is Buyer Representation—and it’s a lot!

Take Advantage of Buyer Representation 

When you understand this concept, it will save you time, money, and frustration.

Buyer representation allows us, as your real estate broker, to put your interest first, above all others.

Remember, if there’s a real estate sign in the yard, that company and agent are already under contract with the seller to put their interest first, ahead of the buyer’s.

WHO REPRESENTS YOU?

You must know who the real estate broker represents! A broker must represent someone. If not the buyer, they represent the seller.

If there is a “for sale” sign in the yard, the broker has agreed to represent the seller. Therefore, they must prioritize the seller’s interest over the buyer’s.

Buyer Representation is a common practice in Texas. As a buyer, finding a REALTOR® you are comfortable with and trust is to your benefit. You can ask them to represent you in the transaction.

Do not “assume” Buyer Representation. A simple Buyer Representation Agreement can clearly outline the terms and responsibilities of all parties.        

Once hired for the job, a REALTOR® can provide you with information to help you make your decisions. This includes current market conditions, financing options, and negotiating issues. Remember, market conditions can change! Strategies that apply in one negotiation may be inappropriate in another. This information is not set in stone.

At North Point Realty, we take the responsibility of Buyer Representation seriously. As your representative, it’s our job to:

• represent your interest
• be your advocate

We welcome your questions and consideration. More about who represents the buyer.

KEEPING YOU INFORMED

Consequently, you can get straight answers, tips, and explanations to help you feel more confident about your decisions.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT BEFORE I WORK WITH A REAL ESTATE BROKER?

Your REALTOR® will provide you with a written buyer representation agreement that will include what services the broker will provide, the cost, how your broker will be paid, and the duration of the agreement.

Your broker will provide a written agreement even if you only want to view properties for sale. This ensures clarity for all parties about the services, relationships, and fees.

Real estate agents do not work for free. Each brokerage independently determines the services it will provide and the fees it will charge. The Texas Real Estate Commission says this about broker compensation: Guide To Broker Commissions.
