    If I signed an exclusive buyers representation agreement. Will I pay a commission to the agent?

    Alberto,

    No, absolutely not. The seller always pays the commission. The services of an exclusive buyer’s agent are free to you as the buyer.

    Are there any benefits in hiring an exclusive buyers agent after a condo project has been released to the public? That is, do I still stand to gain purchasing power with an buyers agent once the project is out on the market?

    If I hire an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent, and then I decide to change the Agent, can I do that? What are the things I should be aware of?

  5. Andrew la Fleur Says:

    If you sign a contract with an agent, then you are bound to that contract.
