What type of agency relationship does a buyer's agent have with their client?

A buyer's agent has a full representation agency relationship with their client. In this context, full representation means that the agent has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the buyer throughout the transaction. This encompasses various responsibilities, such as providing relevant market information, negotiating offers, and guiding the buyer through the entire purchasing process.

The full representation relationship allows the buyer's agent to advocate solely for the buyer, ensuring that their needs and interests are prioritized. This contrasts with other agency relationships which may limit the level of representation or introduce conflicting interests, such as dual agency where the same agent represents both the buyer and the seller, potentially leading to divided loyalties. In a full representation scenario, the buyer can expect complete confidentiality, loyalty, and diligent care from their agent, enhancing their overall experience in purchasing property.
