FAQ

A buyer's advocate is a professional who holds a real estate license and represents a property buyer in their search and acquisition process. Buyers' advocates enhance your property search by leveraging their market knowledge, access to off-market listings, and negotiation skills to find the best-matching properties at the right price.

Buyers' agents represent the buyer and not the seller of the property.

The difference is subtle and often comes down to personal or regional preference in terminology rather than distinct roles.
