The question buyers ask
What's the Catch?
There is no hidden fee structure behind the concept. The difference between the plans is the level of service you choose and the compensation you agree to in writing.
If you want help searching for properties, arranging private showings and touring homes, the Full-Service Buyer Plan is designed for that level of service.
If you prefer to search and attend open houses independently, the Open House Buyer Plan is designed around that buying style.
Seller-paid buyer-broker compensation or other concessions may be negotiated in a transaction, but they are not automatic and are not guaranteed.
Choose the service you want. Know the fee you agreed to. Keep the transaction transparent.

California law requires a buyer-broker representation agreement to be executed as soon as practicable and no later than execution of the buyer's offer. Other rules may require the agreement earlier depending on the activities being performed. Team Lloyd & Associates will address the required agreement before providing covered buyer-agent services.
California law requires the agreement to address, among other things, broker compensation, services to be rendered, when compensation is due, and contract termination.
The buyer's obligations are governed by the written buyer-broker representation agreement and the final transaction terms. A seller-paid amount may reduce what a buyer must pay directly when properly negotiated and documented, but the exact result is transaction-specific.
