When searching on it though, 99% of the hits is from Real Estate Agents(Big surprise) that tries to explain why a real estate transaction takes a buyers agent(Not so big a surprise!!). It all is a big scam - No buyers agent is really needed! The agents in an area are all "related" and work out of the same perspective: To make money! Not to sell houses or help neither buyers nor sellers... To make money and make as much of it as possible! So there is a huge conflict of interest by introducing the concept of a buyers agent that is only interested in the actual transaction taking place for as much as possible where they really should be concerned about making a good, healthy transaction with the buyer for as little as possible! The system is faulty and to some extend fraudulent as per the conflict of interest. If the Real Estate agents were to give up on this matter they would lose a lot of business - up to 50%! You can be represented by a lawyer which might have an easier time claiming the BAC and then pay him by the hour an pocket the BAC yourself. No reason for it to be easier for a lawyer, but if you start dealing with the Sellers agent directly, claiming the BAC, they will deny and make the transaction very hard to succeed, which is illegal as they should be representing the interest of the sellers, which is to make the transaction! Big problem allowing the whole concept of the buyers agent! It should be illegal by law, or other measures should be in place to avoid corrupt agents in the market. Presently there is no regulation for this matter.
