What is the “Buyer Representation” form? How does it work? Do I have to sign it?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with DROdio Real Estate, Inc

Here are our VA buyer representation and DC/MD buyer representation forms. They make us your Realtor, which allows us to represent your interests. You might not even be sure why you need a Realtor. Hopefully reading through all these FAQs will show you the types of pitfalls that can confront you in the home buying process.

Here’s a little known fact: Most state laws stipulate that a Realtor works for the seller unless the Realtor enters into an agreement with his buyer client. So, by signing this agreement, you’re ensured that we’ll be working to represent your interests, not the seller’s.

When Do We Ask You to Sign This Form?

We have our clients sign this form when we start physically spending time with them. To put it another way, you are welcome to use our extensive suite of buyer tools and the way we use technology to help buyers with absolutely no obligation, such as our video tutorials, BirdsEyeSearch.com, TheBestHomeSearchEver.com, our free GPS machine, and many other tools.

Once we start spending time with you, we need a commitment from you that if you buy one of the houses we show you, the seller (not you!) will pay us a commission.

We think it’s a fair trade - you use our tools as much as you’d like, and when you ask for a time commitment from us, we likewise ask for a commitment from you so we know the seller will recognize our buyer relationship and pay us a commission.

If you have any questions please let us know. You can fax the form in to us at 1.877.329.3763.
