A buyer representative is a cooperating agent who legally represents the real estate buyer. He or she generally does so under a buyer representation agreement, much like a traditional real estate broker represents the seller under a listing agreement. The buyer agent’s role is to be the advocate for the purchaser in the real estate transaction. Each agent completes three days of extensive training to earn the CBR designation.
