Exclusive Buyer Broker Agreement

Before we begin working together, I want to take a moment to explain what an Exclusive Buyer Broker Agreement is and what you can expect before signing it.

This agreement simply formalizes our relationship and allows me to represent you as your dedicated agent throughout the home buying process. My role is to guide you, protect your interests, negotiate on your behalf, and help you secure the best possible deal.

📝 Agreement Term

I typically use a 6-month agreement, which gives us enough time to find the right home without feeling rushed.

💰 Retainer Fee

Is a small upfront payment that secures your agent’s services and shows commitment. It’s often credited back to you at closing and applied toward their total compensation. Some agents charge a retainer fee upfront—I do not. There’s no upfront cost to begin working with me.

💼 Compensation

Is how your agent gets paid for their services. It’s usually covered by the seller or agreed upon in advance, and outlines the amount or percentage the agent will receive at closing. As an example, if our agreed rate is 3% and the seller offers 2%, you would be responsible for the 1% difference plus a $495 transaction fee. I always work to negotiate this and avoid surprises.

🔄 Flexibility

Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable—this agreement can be canceled at any time if for any reason you’re not satisfied.

✅ Closing

My goal is to make this process smooth, transparent, and stress-free from start to finish.

If you have any questions before signing, I’m always here to help.
