Buyer Broker Agreements for Commercial/Investment deals
Do commercial agents have their investor (buyer) clients sign a buyer broker agreement the same as residential agents? If so, is there a place where I can find a template form I can use? My residential broker is insisting he sign the residential form and the client is saying stuff it.  This investor is a family friend who I know will be faithful and will work with me but I feel caught between a rock and a hard place.  Btw, I want to move over to commercial/investment work and this would be a good launch for me. Thanks in advance for your time and help.

If he has to sign it, make sure there's a termination right if you decide to move firms.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ff9omyk", "text": "Most dont. way too many deals floating around with different brokers for a buyer to be tied down to one. In my opinion that would be very foolish of the buyer.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
