Agency

What is a 'buyer representation agreement' exclusive clause and what does it mean for Hawaii buyers?

CC. The broker exclusively represents buyers and may not list properties
DD. The exclusive clause prevents the buyer from making offers on new construction

Explanation

An exclusive buyer representation agreement means the buyer agrees to work exclusively with the designated agent for the agreement's term. If the buyer purchases a property (even one found independently or through another agent) during the term, the buyer may owe compensation to the original broker. Hawaii buyers should understand this before signing exclusivity agreements.
