They are unable to advise and advise you, promote and protect your best interests, tell you the reasons not to buy, negotiate the best price and conditions for you, or help write an offer in your best interest. Under Colorado law, the real estate licensee is required to disclose the nature of the employment relationship (transaction broker, selling agent, or buyer agent) and the level of service they provide.

As a broker, their role is limited to presenting you with facts and filling out forms.

Singing the buyer`s agent contract is the real estate equivalent of "walking regularly." Your agent is committed to doing the best job for you and giving you what you need. In return, you agree to only work with your agent so that they end up getting paid when you finally buy a house. Remember, this is a legal document and I am not a lawyer. I am also a first home buyer to share my experience. If you have any questions about the agreement or would like to meet with a buyer`s representative, click here. Buyer Brokerage Disclosure (§ 12-61-808(2)) – This agency disclosure, which informs clients about the Colorado real estate relationship, must be reviewed and signed by the Buyer.

Your agent will have his normal conditions that he will request. Carefully review the agreement and ask questions about anything you don`t understand. A few things to keep in mind: There are several options outlined in the agreement: pass fees, hourly fees, or fees. The most common is the success fee. That is, if you successfully buy a house, the agent will be paid. This is usually a percentage of the purchase price of the home and is only paid if you actually buy the house. For example, 2.8% of the purchase price. Will your "agent" have your best interests in mind? Many buyers assume that apart from personality traits and experience, brokers are all the same. It`s no wonder so many people have had bad experiences with real estate agents. A big part of it comes down to whether or not the agent is an effective communicator. As a buyer, you can`t know everything related to a transaction and what to watch out for.

Therefore, you inspire confidence in the agent you work with to guide you through the process and who has your best interests in mind, right? But you know what? It`s becoming more and more common for agents not to have your best interests in mind. Let`s fix that, right? Colorado law requires disclosure by the agency to potential buyers. Each real estate agent must disclose the types of agencies through which they can represent you. If you do not sign a purchasing agency contract, you will NOT be represented. Don`t make this mistake. Consider your options and results. Here are some facts: Once you have reviewed certain properties with the agent and are confident that they are a good fit, it is reasonable for the agent to ask you to sign the buyer`s representation agreement to continue working together. Both parties invest a lot of time and energy, and you should want to protect this as much as the agent. Be respectful of the work that is done for you by not delaying this process. The agent wants to know if you are serious about buying a home, just as you want to know if the agent will do their best for you.
