The Buyer's Agent

Buyer Agency: You see the perfect property advertised. You do the smart thing and research a different real estate company to find the best realtor to represent your interests. You call your chosen realtor and make an appointment to interview the realtor.

Only after you are confident that this realtor will represent your best interests should you sign on the dotted line. The first time you put your signature on a piece of paper it should be an "Exclusive Buyer Agency" agreement. It should state that the realtor is working exclusively for you. Remember, realtors work on commission. Unless you buy a property, the realtor does not get a check.
