Frequently asked questions
Buyer Representation — Common Questions
What does a buyer's agent do?
A buyer's agent conducts property searches based on your criteria, schedules showings, provides comparative market analysis to inform offer pricing, drafts and submits offers, negotiates on your behalf, coordinates inspections and due diligence, and guides you through closing.
How are buyer's agents compensated?
Traditionally, buyer's agent commissions (2.5–3% of the purchase price) were paid by the seller. Following the 2024 NAR settlement, buyers may now need to sign a buyer representation agreement specifying compensation terms before touring homes. Discuss this clearly with any agent you work with.
Can I buy a house without an agent?
Yes, but it's risky. Without representation, you may overpay, miss inspection issues, or make contract errors that cost you later. In a complex transaction involving the largest purchase of your life, professional representation is almost always worth the cost — and in most markets, it costs you nothing directly.
What is a buyer representation agreement?
A buyer representation agreement is a contract between you and a real estate agent establishing their duties, the term of the relationship, and compensation terms. Following the 2024 NAR settlement, these agreements are required before agents show properties in many states.
