What is the difference between a buyer's agent and a seller's agent in Calgary?

When you buy or sell a home in Calgary, each side typically has their own agent. The seller's agent, also called the listing agent, works for the homeowner and negotiates the highest possible price for their client. For a full picture of the buyer's side, see what a buyer's agent does throughout the process.

If you walk through an open house and chat with the agent there, that agent works for the seller. Having your own buyer's agent costs nothing extra in most transactions since the commission is covered by the seller. Find a Calgary buyer's agent who can represent your interests exclusively.
