What is A Buyers Agent?
Any licensed real estate agent can act as a Buyer’s agent.
The critical difference from their normal role of selling property as an agent for the vendor is that when they act as a Buyer’s agent they are legally bound to work exclusively for the buyer and they must act only in the best interests of the buyer. |  |
|
| |
| They cannot also act as an agent for the vendor (seller) and then accept payment of any kind from the seller.To do so is not only an ethical breach, it is also a criminal offence.The law dictates that an agent cannot act for for both parties in the transaction. |
| |
| The internet is full of websites proclaiming the virtues of Buyers Agents many of whom seem to claim some superior moral position to the normal real estate agent.They even formed two associations! |
| |
| The truth is there are many very trustworthy agents who can act as a buyers agent for you and they can do the job at least as well as these self proclaimed experts.Why would they risk criminal prosecution for a relatively small commission? |
