Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make — and you deserve to know exactly how your REALTOR® will serve you.

A Buyer Representation Agreement is a written contract that sets expectations and builds trust. It:

    - Defines your relationship with your REALTOR®
    - Outlines what services you’ll receive
    - Brings clarity to responsibilities and compensation

Think of it as your blueprint for success in the buying process.

No.- A buyer’s representation agreement does not lock you into just one type of relationship unless you choose it.

State law gives you flexibility to decide the kind of business relationship you want with your REALTOR®:

     - Full representation
     - Limited services
     - Or other arrangements that fit your needs
     - Your agreement reflects what works best for you while staying within what’s allowed in Texas.

Yes. Buyer agreements are not one-size-fits-all, nor are they unchangeable.

- You and your REALTOR® can mutually agree to make changes
- You can also agree to end the agreement if circumstances change
- Most agreements clearly outline:

              - How long they last
              - How cancellation works
              - Any specific conditions that must be met

📌 Tip: Always read the agreement carefully before signing so you know exactly what to expect.

A written buyer agreement:

     ✅ Sets clear expectations between you and your agent
     ✅ Outlines the services provided and how your agent will be compensated
     ✅ Clarifies your responsibilities as a client
     ✅ Creates transparency and protection for both sides
Without one, the process can feel uncertain. With one, you know exactly what to expect.

It’s normal to have questions. Here’s what you can do:

Ask your REALTOR® to explain anything that isn’t clear
Review details like length, termination conditions, and services offered
Consult an attorney if you’d like additional guidance on Texas law and your rights as a buyer

That’s where I come in. I’ll walk you through each section in plain English. And if you’d like, you can consult an attorney for extra peace of mind.

No. You and your REALTOR® can agree to adjust or even end the agreement if needed.
