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.
