Your Buyer Representation Explained
In today’s MLS landscape, buyer representation is clearer and more transparent than ever. As your real estate advisor, I work solely in your best interests, representing you throughout every stage of the home-buying process in Southwest Michigan and Northwest Indiana.
Together, we’ll review a Written Buyer Broker Agreement so you understand exactly how representation, compensation, and fiduciary responsibilities work—no surprises and no ambiguity. My goal is to make sure you feel informed, protected, and confident before you move forward.
For more information on Written Buyer Agreements, please check out this link to the National Association of REALTORS® Consumer Guide Series .
Whenever possible, I will request that the seller contribute toward your broker compensation as part of an offer. If the seller declines or agrees to only partial coverage, the remaining amount is paid by you at closing to @properties | Christie’s International Real Estate. Everything is handled clearly, ethically, and in full compliance with local and national standards.
