Best Real-Estate Agents for First-Time Buyers — FAQ
How much does a buyer's agent cost a first-time buyer?
The signed buyer-broker agreement controls compensation, services, triggering events and any amount the buyer could owe. Ask how any seller or listing-broker payment would affect that obligation, and do not assume representation is free.
Contract source: Minnesota Statutes § 82.66 requires a buyer's broker agreement to state compensation and its triggering events, and says broker compensation is negotiable between the broker and client. The statute does not establish a typical or free rate.
