Agents
Are you working with an "Exclusive" buyer?
Everyone needs to make money.
We are all adults here. If you (a real estate sales person) have a legitimate buyer that only wants to work with you, you are most welcome to bring them to any property under a "Buyers Agency Agreement". This means that you will charge the buyer a fee if they are the successful purchaser of a FiSBO® property. The REAA 2008 allows you to work this way and you are able to recoup the expenses incurred from your buyer under this method.
The other benefits to you is that you can show or vet any suitable property listed with any agency or marketing company without impacting the vendor or need to seek a conjunctional agreement with other agencies or need vendors agency agreement.
Your fiduciary obligation is also not compromised as it sits firmly with your client and not the vendor.
The vendor does not need to sign an agency agreement or is liable to pay you a commission if your buyer actually purchases the property.
You may need to check with your sales manager or principal agent to make sure they are onboard with buyers agency agreements.
The only thing you need to do is disclose the buyer's details before visiting the property by email so the details may be added to the register for the vendors information.
When the buyer makes the bid via FiSBO® your details are inserted in the solicitors details are so you can draft the sales and purchase agreement if your buyer is the succesfull purchaser.
This solution is fair on both parties.
