When being interviewed and hired by a Seller, the knowledgeable licensee successfully reviews the Agency Disclosure form followed by a written listing agreement. With informed consent, the Seller who hires you signs both documents. Now that Buyer advocacy has come to age, and now that all buyer clients MUST sign some kind of representation agreement, we’re following the same procedure with Buyer clients by successfully reviewing the Agency Disclosure form followed by a written representation agreement when being hired. In this course we’ll include the representation agreements that not only clarify the “rules of the road” for both the licensee and the Buyer, but also shift risk while offering professional, quality services. Let’s face it ... today’s Buyers want, need and expect your advice and advocacy. All clients do. And we want, need and expect their trust and loyalty for the value we bring to the table. We have a right to be hired, and we have a right to earn a success fee for our services. So, if you stumble through the Buyer Representation Agreements and wish you had a better understanding and better, smoother scripting, this course is your guide.
