Understanding the Buyer Broker Agreement

Starting in 2024 and now firmly in place for 2025, the Buyer Broker Agreement has become an essential part of purchasing a home. This agreement outlines how your real estate agent represents YOU, not the seller.
✅ It ensures your agent advocates for your best interests.
✅ It clarifies how commissions are handled (sometimes paid by the seller, sometimes by the buyer, depending on the transaction).
✅ It creates transparency about services provided. At DFREL, we walk you through every section of the agreement so you feel fully informed before signing. Your trust is our priority.

Why Buying with a Realtor Matters

Buying a home is one of the largest financial decisions you’ll make — don’t do it alone. Working with a licensed Realtor® provides you:
*Professional Negotiation: Getting you the best price and terms.
*Access to Off-Market & MLS Listings: More inventory, more choices.
*Contract Expertise: Protecting you with iron-clad contracts and inspections.
*Guidance Through Complex Processes: Financing, inspections, title — we handle it.
*Representation: A Realtor® legally works for YOU when you sign a Buyer Agreement.
