Which document defines the buyer's relationship with the broker?

The main concept tested here is how the buyer’s relationship with the broker is formalized. The document that defines that relationship is the Buyer Representation Agreement. It explicitly states that the broker represents the buyer, outlines the services the broker will provide, sets the duration of the representation, and explains how the broker will be compensated. This agreement also establishes the fiduciary duties the broker owes the buyer, such as loyalty, confidentiality, and disclosure, helping both sides know exactly what to expect. The other documents serve different purposes: a deed transfers title to the property, a lease agreement governs rental terms between a landlord and tenant, and a purchase agreement is the contract to buy property detailing price and terms but does not establish or define the broker–buyer relationship.
