When selling a home, listing brokers represent sellers through a formal listing agreement. Their mission? Secure the best possible price and terms for the seller’s advantage. Buyers deserve the same level of professional representation. That's where a Buyer Brokerage Agreement comes in.
At Path & Post Real Estate, we believe that a buyer should never have to navigate today’s competitive market without a trusted advocate. A signed Buyer Brokerage Agreement gives you strategic advice and priority service. You’ll also have the full support of a professional focused on your success, not just the sale.
What Is a Buyer Brokerage Agreement?
A Buyer Brokerage Agreement (BBA) is a written contract between a buyer and a real estate brokerage. By signing, you agree to work exclusively with your chosen real estate agent within a set timeframe. Without a Buyer Brokerage Agreement, buyers are seen as customers instead of clients. This legal distinction is significant.
Why Signing a Buyer Brokerage Agreement Matters
In Georgia, brokers can't represent buyers as clients unless they have a written Buyer Brokerage Agreement. Here’s the difference:
- Client: We provide full fiduciary duties. We offer strategic advice and negotiation expertise. Our loyalty is always to your best interests.
- Customer: Basic transactional assistance, no advice, no strategies, and no advocacy.
Only clients receive the highest level of service, protection, and loyalty. A signed agreement turns the buyer-agent relationship into a strategic partnership. In this partnership, your goals come first.

Protecting Buyers from Dual Agency
Path & Post stands out among Georgia real estate brokerages. They do not permit Dual Agency, which is when one broker represents both the buyer and the seller in a single deal. Dual Agency often leads to conflicts of interest, where neither party gets full representation. That’s why our Buyer Brokerage Agreements guarantee you a Strategic Guide committed 100% to your goals, and only your goals.
