In a previous post, I wrote a bit about why a Buyer Agency Agreement is important and how a Buyer / Broker relationship might occur. I also indicated that, as a rule, I require a Buyer Agency Agreement to work with Buyers.

So what, exactly, does a Buyer Agency Agreement obligate a Buyer to do? Likewise, what does it obligate the Broker to do?
