Before you start looking at homes, you’re going to be asked to sign a Buyer Brokerage Agreement. Most buyers don’t fully understand what it is—or why it matters.

In this first episode, I break it down in simple terms so you know exactly what you’re signing, who represents you, and how it impacts your home buying process.

This is the foundation for everything that follows, and understanding it upfront will help you avoid confusion later.
