Before a Massachusetts buyer can see a single home, their agent is required to ask them to sign an agreement.
Most people don't know this changed in August 2024 ... and even more don't know what they're actually agreeing to.
The buyer broker agreement isn't a trap. It's a transparency tool. But the details matter:
→ The compensation amount must be specific (no ranges, no "TBD")
→ The fees are negotiable — the agreement has to say so by law
→ Your agent cannot accept more than what the agreement states
→ In ~90-95% of Massachusetts transactions, the seller still covers it
If you're getting ready to buy in Greater Boston and surrounding areas, this is the one document worth understanding before you fall in love with a house.

Couldn’t be happier for our clients on this one.

This one was special. We helped them buy this home 10 years ago. Getting the call to help them sell it was something we didn’t take lightly.

Watching them walk away with $56,000 over asking, multiple offers, and a second open house they never even needed to have, that’s exactly what we work for.

It was a genuine pleasure, start to finish. We wish them the best on their next chapter.

We also want to give a well-deserved shoutout to the buyer’s agent, on her very first transaction as a licensed agent, and she handled it with professionalism and grace from offer to closing. That’s not easy, especially in a multiple-offer situation. Congratulations, Cait.
Welcome to the business.
