Why Buyer Brokerage Agreements Are Now Mandatory: What It Means for You

In light of the recent changes involving the National Association of Realtors (NAR), it’s now more important than ever for homebuyers to have a trusted agent by their side. With Buyer Brokerage Agreements (BBA) becoming mandatory before touring homes, having the right agent can make a world of difference. Here’s why you should consider working with me, Victor Velazco, your expert buyer's agent in South Florida.

What is a Buyer Brokerage Agreement?

A Buyer Brokerage Agreement is a contract between a homebuyer and a real estate agent, laying out how the agent will represent the buyer and how compensation will be handled. This agreement ensures transparency from the start and solidifies the commitment of your agent to advocate for you.
