What is the role of a buyer's agent in a real estate transaction?

The role of a buyer's agent in a real estate transaction is to represent only the purchaser. This means that the buyer's agent is specifically tasked with advocating for the buyer’s interests, helping them navigate the complexities of purchasing property. This includes providing insights into market conditions, helping to identify suitable properties, negotiating offers, and ensuring that the buyer understands all aspects of the transaction.

By focusing on the buyer's interests, the agent can work to secure the best possible deal, protect the buyer's legal rights, and provide guidance throughout the entire purchasing process. This singular representation is crucial for buyers to ensure that their needs and preferences are prioritized without any conflict of interest that might arise from dual representation.
