In what way does a buyer's agent differ from a seller's agent?

A buyer's agent primarily functions to represent the interests of the buyer throughout the real estate transaction process. This means that the agent advocates for the buyer's needs and objectives, such as negotiating the best possible price, advising on property values, and guiding the buyer through the buying process. The buyer's agent works to ensure that the buyer is informed about all aspects of a potential purchase, including property conditions, market conditions, and any legalities involved. This focus on the buyer's welfare and success is what differentiates a buyer's agent from a seller's agent, who, conversely, represents the seller's interests and aims to achieve the best outcome for the sale of the property.
