What is a Buyer Representative?

A real estate licensee is hired by a prospective buyer as an agent to find an acceptable property for purchase and to negotiate the best possible price and terms for the buyer. The agent represents the buyer's best interests throughout the transaction. The buyer can pay the agent directly through a negotiated fee, or the buyer's agent may be paid by the seller or a commission split with the listing agent.
