🏠 Understanding the Buyer Broker Agreement

At The Duvall Group with Brokers Realty, transparency and trust are at the core of how we do business. Beginning in August 2024, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) implemented new rules that require every buyer to sign a Buyer Broker Agreement before touring homes with an agent.

What Is a Buyer Broker Agreement?

A Buyer Broker Agreement is a document that simply outlines how we work together — it protects you as a buyer and defines my responsibilities as your real estate professional. It confirms that I represent your best interests during your home search, negotiations, and purchase process.

This agreement also makes sure that all terms — including how compensation is handled — are clearly stated and understood from the beginning.

What You Should Know About Commissions

Although these changes require buyer agreements, I have not charged any of my buyers a commission since the new rules took effect. In every transaction since August 2024, I’ve successfully negotiated for the seller to pay my commission, so my buyers have not paid out-of-pocket for representation.

My goal is to ensure you have expert representation without added costs — guiding you through every showing, inspection, and negotiation with confidence.

Why It Matters

Having a Buyer Broker Agreement in place allows us to:

• Protect your best interests throughout the buying process

• Give you full access to home tours and market opportunities

• Provide professional-level service and negotiation on your behalf

• Maintain transparency and trust at every step
