A buyer’s broker (also called buyer’s agent) is a real estate agent hired by the buyer to represent his or her interests at no additional cost. Traditionally, real estate agents have listed property for sale and formed a legal relationship with the seller. Buyers who desire to have their positions advocated, and have the agent negotiate on their behalf, can now hire agents to represent them. A professional Buyer Broker may/may not list property- to avoid conflicts of interest.
