I work hard for those with a signed agency agreement to provide my clients with the highest level of service possible. 

• Sellers, that means a listing agreement. 
• Buyers, that means a buyer representation agreement. Without that agreement, I not only don't represent you, but I can't represent you.  Because without that agreement, you're a customer, not a client.
• This is true for me but for all agents, whether they mention it or not.  

• It’s been a Virginia law since July 1, 2012.  
• Not all Licensees are created equal.  
• I am a REALTOR, and I pledge to uphold a strict code of ethical conduct.  
• Ethical duties exceed those established by Virginia law, and buyer clients are provided with the highest level of integrity and service.  
• Professional representation is not new.. But it’s the right thing to do.  

The RELATIONSHIP

• Committed to ensuring YOUR interests are protected
• Largest financial purchaser you will make so get it right.  
• Sellers have listing agreements, so Buyers should have buyer agreements for their protection and transparency.  

Brokerage Agreement: what is it? 

• A contract that establishes a business relationship between you, the buyer, and me. 
  
• This includes a start date and end date, how I will be paid, and the duties and obligations of ALL parties.  
• It must contain a specific start date and end date.  It can be for 1 home show, for several months, or for a few days.  

Types of Buyer Brokerage Services:

• Typical buyers will engage me as an exclusive buyers ( standard) agent. Specific duties include but are not limited to:
• Negotiate terms and conditions of a real estate purchase contract.
• Prepare written offers and counteroffers.
• Promote YOUR best interests.
• Maintain the confidentiality of your personal and financial information. 
• Account for any money received in which you have an interest. 
• Provide Full Service from initial contact to post-closing.  
• Transaction management

Not all agents will perform everything or provide you with the level of service that a full-time REALTOR does.  Those include limited service and independent contractors.  A limited service agent will perform some but not all of those duties of a standard agent.  An independent contractor is a form of non-agency representation whereby you have no relationship with your agent.
