Buyer Agency
It's important for anyone buying real estate in Wisconsin to understand the realtor's role in the real estate process. It's important to the Klapperich team that you understand the various duties of their agents in order to take full advantage of the buyer brokering system.
The Klapperich Real Estate Buyer Broker System is designed to allow you the opportunity to have an agent represent you instead of representing the seller. It's important that you understand the difference.
Traditional Brokerage System
The Traditional Brokerage System is used by the majority of real estate firms in Wisconsin. Under this system, all real estate brokers and their agents (including the agent who sells the home for you) are Agents for the Sellers and have a duty to represent the seller's best interests, including:
- Negotiating the highest price possible
- Structuring the transaction to the Seller's advantage
Buyer Agency Brokerage System
Under this system, the listing real estate broker is the agent for the seller, but the selling real estate broker (the agent who sells the home to you) is the Agent for the Buyer, and has a duty to represent the buyer's best interests, including:
- Negotiating the lowest possible price
- Structuring the transaction to the Buyer's advantage
