The Basics
What buyer representation means
A buyer's agent works solely for you, not the seller — bringing pricing insight, negotiation on your behalf, and guidance through inspection and closing. Buyer-agent compensation depends on the listing, the offer terms, and your buyer-agency agreement. Carrie will walk through the options upfront so you understand what, if anything, you may be responsible for before you tour homes.
