The Buyer Agent Exclusive Agreement is a fundamental document in U.S. real estate transactions that protects both the buyer's and agent's interests during the property purchase process. This agreement is typically used when a serious buyer wants dedicated representation in their property search and requires the full services of a real estate professional. The document sets clear expectations by detailing the scope of the agent's services, establishing exclusive representation rights, and defining compensation structures. It includes state-mandated disclosures, compliance with federal fair housing laws, and specific terms regarding the duration of the relationship. The agreement is particularly important in competitive real estate markets where having dedicated representation can be crucial for successful property acquisition.
