New Toolkit Available for the Buyer Agency Remuneration Agreement

BCREA has created a new toolkit on the Standard Forms Resource Centre to help enhance REALTOR^® knowledge of the Buyer Agency Remuneration Agreement form. This toolkit reviews the purpose of the form and when and how it should be used. It also includes an annotated version of the form, an interactive how-to-complete guide and frequently asked questions such as:

1. Our brokerage has entered into a Buyer's Agency Exclusive Contract with our buyer client. The Listing Brokerage is offering a cooperating brokerage remuneration that is less than the agreed remuneration in the Buyer's Agency Exclusive Contract. If we include a clause in the offer that the seller will pay all or part of the shortfall (instead of the buyer), are we required to have a Buyer Agency Remuneration Agreement signed?

To find out the answer to this frequently asked question and others, enrol in the toolkit here and click "Start Learning Now."
