Discover What It Really Means, Why It Matters, and How to Navigate It Like a Pro.
💭 Dreaming of Homeownership?
You’re scrolling listings at midnight, imagining life in your dream home—until your agent says:
“Let’s get started! Just sign this Buyer Representation and Broker’s Compensation Agreement first.”
Wait… what? 😳
If that made you pause, you’re not alone. But before you ghost your dream home, let’s break this down—simple, clear, and pressure-free.
🧾 What Is a Buyer Representation Agreement?
Think of it as a mutual agreement between you and your real estate agent.
✅ You agree to work exclusively with your agent.
✅ Your agent agrees to advocate for you, negotiate fiercely, and protect your best interests.
✅ You both understand how your agent will be paid (usually by the seller).
It’s about clarity, trust, and professional commitment—not locking you into anything scary.
📅 Do I Have to Sign One?
Yes—as of 2024 in California, it's required before viewing properties in person. The industry is shifting to create more transparency and professionalism.
But good news:
📌 You can customize the agreement—duration, location, even commission terms.
📌 It ensures you’re represented in one of the biggest purchases of your life.
💸 Who Pays the Commission?
In most cases, the seller covers the commission—but this is evolving. In the post-2024 real estate world, buyers may need to negotiate this upfront.
That’s where the Broker’s Compensation Agreement comes in—it sets clear expectations and helps avoid surprise fees down the road.
