Beware of Buyer Representation Agreement (BRA)-2

I believe in it. Not a benefit of doubt, but it’s always said that one gets beware of BRA (Buyer Representation Agreement). Homeownership comes up with power, but not without burge. Chaos, stress, and almost pushed into anxiety disorder, it’s still a jargon to people, who are on the way to their dream home.

(Customer Relationship Guide)  - A form that’s mandate between a real estate agent and a buyer. This holds answers to his questions indeed, like:

What type of representation it’s as,

• Nonexclusive not-for-compensation contracts


• Nonexclusive right-to-represent contracts


• Exclusive right-to-represent contracts

Every buyer has the right to ask for a tour around CRG (Customer Relationship Guide). Seeking an attorney (licensed) would make things much easier. Also, it shouldn’t be the “Beware of BRA (Buyer Representation Agreement)” always.

We’re supposed to be educated with this guide before we get to sign BRA .

Benefits of BRA

• Negotiation and we know how important our pad is. When BRA is signed, it does mean that the professional is going to help you get the tax and other benefits.


• Also, they would hotlist more options. This narrows down the search.


• BRA lasts for six months in the least. It’s more of a security alarm.

Why to mess up with our time and the agent’s?

Hmm, let’s get to know its clauses, before getting into it. To my understanding they’re just the requirements and regulations to be abided by buyers and realtors.

Why Customer Relationship Guide makes sense to a buyer?

It explains about relationship types availed by the buyer.

Common Law Agency relationship – The entire real estate agency /brokerage acts as the customer’s agent. No specific or first agent involved.

Designated Agency relationship – An individual realtor acts as your agency. No other professionals are involved.

Customer – The buyer could just be a customer to realtor. No BRA or further clauses involved.

Ok, I’m done with signing it up at the time she prepared the first offer. Still, can I get out of BRA (Buyer Representation Agreement).

Everytime, it shouldn’t be the court to do the talking. Rather than adding fuel to fire, it’s good to negotiate.

“Humble thine vanity!”

This is really worth it.
